      A                        D          E
    Where are you going, Miss Tara, Miss Tara,
      A                   D         E    E7
    where are you going, Miss Tara Joan ?
           A                           D
    Yesterday when you played on the swing and the trampoline,
               A                  E     E7
    you're already thinking of a life of your own.
           E                          E7        A
    And I turn around twice and you're already gone.

     A                        D          E
    Who will you marry, Miss Tara, Miss Tara,
     A                   D          E   E7
    who will you marry, Miss Tara Joan ?
     A                      D
    Will he have wealth and will he have fame,
         A                                E          E7
    I'm sure, too, you're wonderin' just who he will be ?
            E                      E7        A
    Well, that's your decision, it's not up to me.

       A                          D          E
    I hope you'll be happy, Miss Tara, Miss Tara,
       A                     D         E    E7
    I hope you'll be happy, Miss Tara Joan !
          A                        D
    And that you will stay with me till you're a woman,
         A                              E           E7
    and wise to the world before you're off on your own.
              E                       E7     A
    You're my last baby girl and I'll be so alone.
