Basically your standard blues pattern. Standard Tuning [Intro] [Verse 1] Well I feel just like a child Yeah I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child From my womb to my tomb I guess I’ll always be a child   [Verse 2] Well some people try and treat me like a man Yeah some people try and treat me like a man Well I guess they just don’t understand Yeah some people try and treat me like a man They think I know shit But that’s just it I’m a child   [Verse 3] Well I need you to tell me what to wear Yeah I need you to help me comb my hair Yeah I need you to help me tie my shoes Yeah I need you to come keep me amused From my cave to my grave I guess I’ll always be a child   [Verse 4] Well I need you to help me reach the door And I need you to walk me to the store And I need you to please explain the war And I need you to heal me when I’m sore You can tell by my smile    That I’m a child   [Verse 5] And I need you to sit me on your lap And I need you to make me take my nap Could you first pull out a book and read me some of that? Cause I need you to make me take my nap [Verse 6] And I need you to recognize my friends Cause they’re there even though you don’t see them They got their own chair a plate and a seat You know I won’t touch my food unless they eat From the roof to the floor I crawl around some more I’m a child   [Verse 7] And I need you to help me blow my nose And I need you to help me count my toes And I need you to help me put on my clothes And I need you to hide it when it shows From being my daddy’s sperm To being packed in an urn I’m a child   [Verse 8] And when I steal you gotta smack me ’til I cry Don’t you stop ’til all the tears run dry See I was born thinking all under the sky Didn’t belong to a couple old white guys From sucking on my mama’s breast To when they lay my soul to rest I’m a child   [Outro] Well I’m a little child Oh I’m a little child I guess I’ll always be A little child
