My Special Child chords

C majorC FF 4x *

 C majorC
I think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curls
                FF
And how her father's heart was frozen
C majorC
I spoke to her and I said:
                   FF
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"
 C majorC   FF       C majorC
I lied. Where's she tonight?

C majorC
I left him now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart
                FF
And how his lies have left mine broken
  C majorC
To think that I spoke to him then I said:
                   FF
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"
 C majorC   FF      C majorC
I lied. Where's he tonight?

You were precious to me

After all I called you into being

I wanted you to know that

Yes, you were precious to me

she has chosen

C majorC
And I miss my little boy

I strayed away, so far away
  FF      C majorC
And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face
   FF   C majorC
Would be so right

C majorC
Once I sat in my husband's car
                  FF
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
         C majorC
My heart wouldn't work

And this he did my special child
                   FF
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
             C majorC
Oh boy, everything's all right
   FF           C majorC
Don't cry, everything's all right
   FF          C majorC
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
   FF         C majorC
Don't hide, Jake's here alive
