If I Were A Child chords by Nanci Griffith

Intro
G       D       C
G       D       C

G               D               C       G
Sunday morning hell, it's finally come
        D               C
Washed these bleary eyed windows just to see the sun
G       EM              A
And I keep on thinking it will pass some time
C                       D
Bring back the peace of mind and carry that old smile of mine

Chorus:
C                       G               EM
If I were a child I would cry and beg your pardon
C       D       G               EM      C
If I were a beggar I would hold out my hand
D               G               EM      C
If I were an angel I would smile and say you owe me
                D       C               G
But I am just a lady you never tried to understand

G       D               C       G
Why am I so cold inside today
        D               C
These home town streets look so dirty and gray
G       EM              A
And I don't want to save it until the night rolls in
C                       G
Do you feel the pain my friend?
C       D
Well it's alright

(Chorus)

Bridge:
G       D       C
G       D       C

G       D               C
Those old morning after blues go a hold of me
G       D               C
I'm a Saturday night drunk with no place to drink
G       EM      A
And I don't want to face the truth I see in me
C       D               G       C
"Cause in my mind I already going home to Satan

(Chorus)

D       C       G       D
