Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight: Wilf Carter (1937)
Chorded by Gary W, 14 Sept 2006
(G) Where is my (C) wanderin’ (G) boy tonight
The (C) boy of my tenderest (G) years
The boy that was (C) once my (G) joy and life
The (D) child of my (D7) love and (G) prayer
Oh (C) where is my boy to-(G)-night
Oh (D) where is my boy to-(D7)-night
My (G) heart oer'flows, for I love him he (C) knows
Oh (G) where is my (D) boy to-(G)-night
Once he was (C) pure as the (G) mornin’ dew
As he (C) knelt at his mother’s (G) knee
No face was so (C) bright, no (G) hug more due
And (D) none was so (D7) sweet as (G) he
[Yodels]
Oh-(C)-lee-eeee-de-de-de-(G)-deeeeee
Oh-(D)-lee-eeee-de-de-de-(D7)-deeeeee
Oh-(G)-lee-eeee-de-de-de-(G7)-de-de-de-(C)-deeeee
Oh-(G)-lee-eeee-de-de-(D)-de-oh-le-ee-(G)-de
Oh should I (C) see you (G) now my boy
As (C) fair as in olden (G) times
When prattle and (C) smile made (G) home a joy
And (D) life was a (D7) merry (G) time
But go for my (C) wanderin’ (G) boy tonight
Go (C) search for him where you (G) will
And bring him to (C) me with (G) all his blight
And (D) tell him I (D7) love him (G) still
Repeat Yodeling
