Here's how I would play it:
WATCHING SCOTTY GROW
---D---------------------------------------D7---------
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad,
------------Gmaj7------------Em----A----------D--
What a handsome lad, --------that's my boy.
---D-----------------D7--------------
BRLFQ spells mom and dad,
----------Gmaj7------------Em----A----------D--
But that ain't too bad, ---------that's my boy.
--G-----------------------A-------------F#m---------Bm
You can have your TV and you nightclubs,
--Em---------------------------A-------------------D---
And you can have your drive in picture show,
-----G----------------------A---------------------------D---------------G----
I'll stay here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio,
--Em-------------------------A------------------D---
Biding my time and Watching Scotty grow.
Making a castle out of building blocks,
And a cardboard box, That's my boy,
Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock,
Well that's quite a shock! That's my boy.
In four short years I've gone from rags to riches,
And what I did before that I don't know,
So let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow,
And we're sitting here shining watching Scotty grow.
Riding on daddy's shoudlers off to bed,
Old sleepy head, that's my boy,
Got to have a drink of water and a story read,
A teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy.
What's that you say momma come on and keep you feet warm,
Well save me a place I'll be there in a minute or so,
I'll think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go,
Me and God watching Scotty grow.
Me and God watching Scotty grow.
