She's got a smile that it seems to me__
+6 +7 -7 +6 +7 -7 +7 -7 -6
Re-minds me of child-hood me-mor-ies
+6 +7 -7 +6 +7
Where e-ver-y-thing
-7 +6 +7 -7 +6 +7 +7 +7 -7
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky__
-8 -8 -8 +7 -7 +7 -8 -7
Now and then when I see her face
-8 +7 -7 +6 +7 -7 +6
She takes me a-way to that
+7 -8 +7
spec-ial place
-7 +7 -7 +7 -7 +7
And if I stared too long
-7 +7 +6 +7 +7 +7 +7 -8
I'd prob-'ly break down and cry
-8 +8 -8 +7 +7 +7 +7 +7 -7
Oh___o_oh___ Sweet child o' mine__
-8 +7 -7 +7 -7 +6 -6 -7 +6
Oh___o-oh______ Sweet love of mine
-8 -8 -8 +7 -7 +7 -8 -7
She's got eyes of the blu-est skies
+6 +7 -7 +7 -7 -6 +6
As if they thought of rain__
+6 +7 +7 +7 +7 +7 +6 +7
I hate to look in-to those eyes
+7 +7 -7 +7 +7 +7 -7 +6
And see an ounce of pain_____
-8 -8 -8 +7 -7
Her hair re-minds me
+7 -8 -7 -8 +7 -7
of a warm safe place___
+6 +7 -7 +7 -8 +7 -7 -6
Where as a child I'd hide___
+6 +7 +7 +6 +7 -7
And pray for the thun-der
+7 -7 +7
And the rain
+6 +7 -7 +6 +7 -8 +7 -7 +6
To qui-et-ly pass me by______
[repeat 3x]:
-8 +8 -8 +7 +7 +7 +7 +7 -7
Oh___o_oh___ Sweet child o' mine__
-8 +7 -7 +7 -7 +6 -6 -7 +6
Oh___o-oh______ Sweet love of mine
