D   Em7      D     Em7   D   Em7   D   Em7
She wakes up early every morning,
D   Em7     D      Em7      D    Em7  D  Em7
she gets up long before the sunshine,
D   Em7        D       Em7         D   Em7   D  Em7
    greets the milkman who's still yawning
D   Em7       D     Em7   D     Em7    D   Em7
and reads the paper for a short time.
A                         D       Em7  D  Em7
Calls the kids "Get out of bed",
A                          D      Em7  D
they never hear a word she says.

D  Em7  D         Em7       D     Em7  D
Husband stands to leave the table,
    Em7     D        Em7    D          Em7   D
she says "I hope you have a good day."
   Em7         D        Em7    D     Em7   D
he thinks "One day soon as I'm able,
     Em7   D         Em7   D          Em7  D  Em7
I'll get a job where I get good pay."
A                              D    Em7  D  Em7
They find it hard to make ends meet.
A                             Bm
But they don't mention it, because they have each other
    G                   A
and love is free, while they're supposed to be

D   G           D   G    D   G           A
too young to be married, too young to be free,
D   G           D            G
too young to be married, but what can they do:
G                        D    A
they were gonna have a baby.

After the kids have had their breakfast
D           Em7    D        Em7   D     Em7   D   Em7
now they're off to get some schoolin'
D   Em7        D         Em7       D    Em7   D   Em7
she cleans the house and makes the beds
D   Em7       D         Em7         D   Em7   D   Em7
she starts to dream but knows she's foolin'
A                                 D     Em7   D
she swears one day she'll stay in bed,
A                           Bm
but for now she knows she's got to keep on working,
       G                                   A
'cause round and round inside her head she hears the words her mother
said:

D   G           D   G    D   G           A
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
D   G           D            G
too young to be married, but what could they do:
G                        D    A
they were gonna have a baby.

D   G           D   G    D   G           A
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
D   G           D            Gmaj7                C    D   C
too young to be married, but what could they do?
