D#m
There's a place I go
           F#
When I am far away

There's a T.V. show
      F#
And I can play

C#                D#
Sometimes when a hero takes me
C#           B    C#   B
Sometimes I don't let go

Hello, hello

There's a picture book
With colour photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes away he takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello, hello

There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will go

Sometimes away he takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello, hello
