[Verse 1]
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie tumbled out to play
D
By the farmhouse on the hillside late one autumn day
Emadd9
Sat with her dog Dasher under the apple tree
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Chatting away in a world of make-believe
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie skipped towards the south
D
Mum had hung the washing and was back inside the house
Emadd9
And tagging along was Dasher as Millie passed behind the hill
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Leaving the yard by the farmhouse, deathly still
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Leaving that yard by the farmhouse, deathly still
[Chorus]
Emadd9 D

Millie
[Verse 3]
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie, her mother wept in vain
D
It echoed up the hillside, drifted back again
Emadd9
She checked the sheds, checked the dam and put the word around
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
And the search began for Millie as the sun went down
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
The search began for Millie as the sun went down
[Chorus]
Emadd9 D
Millie
Emadd9 A
Millie
[Verse 4]
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie, the desperate searchers cried
D
As the little girl lay sleeping, and protected by her side
Emadd9
And that’s how Uncle Andy found her after dawn
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Curled up with her dog Dasher, safe and warm
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Curled up with her dog Dasher, safe and warm
[Verse 5]
Emadd9
He was lively in the litter, that faithful working dog
D
He and barefoot Millie were like two peas in a pod
Emadd9
And when they asked that little girl, where were you, Millie Kwast?
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
She said, I was lying next to Dasher, I was never lost
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
I was lying next to Dasher, I was never lost
[Chorus]
Emadd9 D
Millie, oh little Millie, little barefoot Millie
Emadd9 A
Millie, oh little Millie, little barefoot Mille
[Outro]
