Embrace Me You Child chords by Carly Simon

Embrace Me, You Child from No Secrets - 1972

G
At night in bed
                        G
I heard God whisper lullabyes
Gmaj7
While Daddy next door
                   A
Whistled whiskey tunes
        G
And sometimes when I wanted
               G
They would harmonize
C

There was nothing those two couldn't do

    G
Embrace me you child
            C
You're a child of mine
            G
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
C
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
     G
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"

G
I thought together they must sing the moon away
A
I thought that they must know each other well
F
For the magic that they made
           G
When they played
C
Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell

    G
Embrace me you child
            C
You're a child of mine
            G
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
C
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
     G
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"

G
Then one night Daddy died
               D
And went to Heaven
Gmaj7
And God came down to earth
              A
And slipped away
G
I pretended not to know
             G
I'd been abandoned
C
But no one sang the night into the day
G
And later night time songs came back again
           Gmaj7
But the singers don't compare
               A
With those I knew
G
And I never figured out
      G
Where God and Daddy went
C
But there was nothing those two couldn't do

    G
Embrace me you child
            C
You're a child of mine
            G
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
C
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
     G
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
