[Verse 1]
G                Cb  G
What Do you know?
Cb
Suddenly,
        B          G  Cb
 you’re older now
         G
They  call you a grown up
              Cb
With the  dog and the
            G
 bills and the garden
Cb                  G
And the picturesque house
 Cb  G  Cb
G                  Cb  B
And the pear tree
     Cb
Is  budding up a
         G    Cb  G
 third year
                 B
And if your  mother
were still here
                   G
The fallen blossoms
             Cb
On the lawn would
 all disappear
      G          Cb  G  Cb
                    G  Cb
And you’re in  love
B                 Cb
you pray to  God it’s
          G   Cb  G
forever
       Cb             Fm
But  you look around and
 think
Cb                G
”Why try altogether?”
              Cb
But he’s  endless
                 B
And on my  skin like
                    G
sand on the  shore

[Verse 2]
                      G
You travel the  world
Cb                   G   B
Swim under a  watеrfall
               G
You have  everything
you еver wanted
You wonder when
           Cb      G  Cb  G
your dad will call
Then you’re in New
           Cb
 York  again
                B
With your  oldest  friend
             G
And the  basket of
                     B  Fm
bread’s  still  warm

I’m somebody’s baby

How to play 24: key, chords and progression

These are 24 chords by NIKI on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

24 by NIKI keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 6 chords: G, Cb, B, Fm, Bb and Fb.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Cb – G – Cb – B (III – I – III – III in G major). In solfa, that is mi – doh – mi – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes E, Ab, Dm, G, C# (60% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
