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
