C
Young child with dreams,
F                         C
dream every dream on your own
              Dm
When children play,
               F       C
seems like you end up alone

C            F
Papa says he loved to be with you,
C             F
if he had the time
C                  F                   G
So you turn to the only friend you can find;
F             G    F
there in your mind

C
Shilo, when I was young,

I used to call your name

When no one else would come,

Shilo you always came,

and we'd play

C
Young girl with fire,
F                       C
something said she understood
            Dm
I wanted to fly,
            F           C
she made me feel like I could

C                     F
Held my hand out, and I let her take me,
C          F
blind as a child
C                 F                    G
All I saw was the way that she made me smile;
F           G    F
she made me smile

C
Shilo, when I was young,

I used to call your name

When no one else would come,

Shilo you always came;

and you'd stay

C F  Dm C

C                   F
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder;
C             F
she had other plans
 C                F                     G
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand",
F      G    F
I understand

C
Shilo, when I was young,

I used to call your name

When no one else would come. . .
