Chords with lyrics
Embrace Me, You Child from No Secrets - 1972
G+G
At night in bed
G+G
I heard God whisper lullabyes
Gmaj7Gmaj7
While Daddy next door
A augmentedA
Whistled whiskey tunes
G+G
And sometimes when I wanted
G+G
They would harmonize
C majorC
There was nothing those two couldn't do
G+G
Embrace me you child
C majorC
You're a child of mine
G+G
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
C majorC
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
G+G
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
G+G
I thought together they must sing the moon away
A augmentedA
I thought that they must know each other well
FF
For the magic that they made
G+G
When they played
C majorC
Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell
G+G
Embrace me you child
C majorC
You're a child of mine
G+G
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
C majorC
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
G+G
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
G+G
Then one night Daddy died
D MajorD
And went to Heaven
Gmaj7Gmaj7
And God came down to earth
A augmentedA
And slipped away
G+G
I pretended not to know
G+G
I'd been abandoned
C majorC
But no one sang the night into the day
G+G
And later night time songs came back again
Gmaj7Gmaj7
But the singers don't compare
A augmentedA
With those I knew
G+G
And I never figured out
G+G
Where God and Daddy went
C majorC
But there was nothing those two couldn't do
G+G
Embrace me you child
C majorC
You're a child of mine
G+G
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
C majorC
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
G+G
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
G+G
