Freckles chords by The Oak Ridge Boys

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G                           C
They'd all called her Freckles when summer was coming around
    D                           G
All the kids that were running and laughing and some turned to brown
  G                          C
And I'd find her crying and hurt by the words that they said
  D                   G
And follow her home just trying to be her friend


Chorus:
      G        Em
And I'd say Freckles you're pretty
     C          G
There's a rainbow on your face
    C       G
Do you want to know a secret?
    Em     C     D
None of them could take your place
      G       Em
Cause your different and special
     C          G
And she'd hold my hand and sigh
     C       D          G
And say I always want to see me through your eyes


Verse 2:
  G                       C
But summers just turned into winters and then into years
  D                      G
And slowly the smile of a woman replaced all her tears
  G                         C
And some how I knew in a while that my friend would be gone
  D                     G
As I watched a sad ugly duckling turn into a swan


Chorus:
      G        Em
And I said Freckles you're special
     C          G
And she'd hold my hold and sigh
     C       D          G
And say I always want to see me through your eyes


Verse 3:
  G                     C
But soon she was flying, dancing laughing and proud
  D                 G
And I took my place, a face alone in a crowd
                          C
Knowing her lovers can't see past her smooth golden skin
  D                        G
And that's how I know that Freckles will come back again


Chorus:
       G     Em
And I'll say Freckles I love you
     C          G
There's a rainbow on your face
        C          G
Cause she'll be smiling through her teardrops
    Em   C  D
As she runs to my embrace
G        Em
Freckles you're special
      C          G
And she'll take my hand and sigh
     C      D          G
And say I only want to see me through your eyes
       G     Em
And I'll say Freckles I love you
     C          G
There's a rainbow on your face
        C
Cause she'll be smiling through
