The guitar shall be played with "staccato full picking"

Intro (from when the guitar starts to play):

D   D   D/C    G/H    G/Bb     D     D  

      D                          Cmaj7
1. She is like the lady down the road
                             Bm
    Or just the women up the street, 
                            C    A
    like any mother you may know.
       D                             Cmaj7
    To me, she is the one who had it planned
                           Bm
    to lead us all to Wonderland, 
                           Am7    A
    she always wanted us to go.      And she said : 
Chorus
    D          A         Bm       G           D
    Don’t ever be lonely remember I’ll always care.
    D        A           Bm       G         D
    Wherever you may be, remember I will be there.

D    D/C   G/H    G/Bb    D

       D                         Cmaj7
2. And like another lady that we know,
                                  Bm
    she has a smile so bright and sweet, 
                                C    A
    and hair as white as driven snow.
           D                         Cmaj7
    Though life is never easy day to day, 
                           Bm
    she has a very special way
                                 Am7    A
    to make us smile when we are low.          And she says:

Chorus
D          A         Bm       G           D
Don’t ever be lonely remember I’ll always care.
D        A           Bm       G         D
Wherever you may be, remember I will be there.

D          A         Bm       G           D
Don’t ever be lonely remember I’ll always care.
D        A           Bm       G         D
Wherever you may be, remember I will be there.
