[Verse 1]
C
When I’m sad, I am unreasonable
C5
Just like a little kid, mad at the world
C
When I’m alone, I am defenseless
C
Just like the boy I was, afraid in the dark

One day I’m fine

Some peace of mind
C6
And then I’ll stop being afraid

I’ll make it through the night

[Outro]
C                              Dm
The more I learn, the less I know

Through every high and every low

Oh, oh, the more I learn (Grow)

The less I know (Grow)
Am
Through every high and every low (Grow)

I’ll grow, oh-oh

The more I learn (Grow)

The less I know (Grow)

Through every high and every low (Grow)

I’ll grow, oh-oh

How to play Grow: key, chords and progression

Grow by Jeangu Macrooy keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 15 chords: C, C5, F, Dm, G, E, Fm, Em, Gdim, A7, A and C/Bb and 3 more.

Most of the song cycles through C – Dm – Am – F (I – ii – vi – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – lah – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F, Fm and Gdim are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
