Verse:
            Db                Eb
She had a ring of gold and a three-year-old
       Ab
And a house with a wooden fence
      Db                   Eb
The doctors tried and her family cried
           Ab
‘Cause it didn’t make no sense
      Db       Eb             Fm            Dm
But somewhere deep inside she knew God knew better
            Bbm                                      Db          Eb
So in the middle of the night… dim night light…she started her letter

It said…

Don’t let this world turn you cold and cynical

Verse:
         Db                     Eb
Well she got the note that her momma wrote
        Ab
On the day she turned eleven
       Db            Eb
On the envelope she read the words…
       Ab
To my little girl from heaven
      Db        Eb         Fm           Db
She couldn’t remember the smell of her skin
      Bbm                                 Db          Eb
Oh but on that night it was like she was holding her again

When she read…

Chorus:

Db    Eb   Fm

And for heaven’s sake you’ll make mistakes but whatever you do…
