[Verse 1]
A E7
I know a boy who knows a girl and she is so in love
A
She wants him for he’s all the things, that she’s been dreamin’ of
D
She wants to share a kiss with him, but he’s too shy to dare
A E7 A
For he’s just four and she’s just three and that’s a sad affair

[Verse 2]
E7
Everytime she looks at him, with eyes so big and blue
A
He always looks the other way and she don’t know what to do
D
For he is such a perfect doll, with blond and curly hair
A E7 A
But he’s just four and she’s just three and that’s a sad affair

[Verse 3]
D A
Soda pop and bubble gum, she brings him by the score
B7 E E7
Lots of candy kisses too, he couldn’t ask for more
A D
But he’s a rough-tough cowboy and for girls he just don’t care
A E7 A
For he’s just four and she’s just three and that’s a sad affair

[Verse 4]
E7
She always follows him around, next door and back again
A
If she can’t be his lady fair, she’ll be his indienne
D
‘Cause she just wants to be with him, no matter when ‘o where
A E A
For he’s her great big hero and that’s a sad affair

[Verse 5]
E7
She’s given up her paper dolls and now she totes a gun
A
‘Cause that’s the way he likes to play, so she pretends it’s fun
D
For him she’d do most anything, but he’s so unaware
A E A
Four he’s just four and she’s just three and that’s a sad affair

[Verse 6]
D A
When the rain comes pourin’ down and they must be apart
B7 E7
It doesn’t bother him at all, but it almost breaks her heart
A D
She’s just content to tag along and hopes someday he’ll care
A E A A
But he’s just four and she’s just three.. and that’s a sad.. af-fair..
