[Verse 1]
[G]Child come away
It's the [Bb]girl with [Am]the deputy [G]walking by
Child go and play
No I [Bb]won't give you
[Am]reasons so [G]don't ask why
I read [Gm]the story about a week

[Verse 2]
[G]ago
They [Bb]found her on the [A]beach that night
[G]They [Gm]thought the light had
gone [G]out of her eyes
and [Bb]no-one thinks thinks
she'll [A]ever [G]be right[Bb]
She was so [Dm]full of her life
[Bb]Happy with the [C]people she [F]knew
But [Bb]then no-one [C]can can tell
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Child come away
It's the [Bb]girl with the [Am]deputy [G]walking by
Child go and play
No I [Bb]won't give you [Am]reasons
so [G]don't ask why
Guess all they found [Gm]were some marks

[Verse 4]
[G]
in the sand
A [Bb]mes sage s[A]aying 'She
[G]is mine'
Nobody touched her [Gm]as
[G]she got in the car
[Bb]Well nobody [A]dares to [G]anytime
[Bb]She was so full [Dm]of her life
The [Bb]girl that every[C]body once [F]knew
But [Bb]now no-one c[C]an can tell
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Child come away
It's the [Bb]girl with the [Am]deputy [G]walking by
Child go and play
No I [Bb]won't give you [Am]reasons
so [G]don't ask why

[Verse 6]
[D]And when they read a story out to the judge
I heard they [C]had to turn away

[Verse 7]
It's all over town
[G]I[Gm][Bb][Am][G][Bb][A][G]
saw
her face in the back of a car
As [Bb]they were speeding [A]out of [G]town
She's got a mark on the side of her face
that [Bb]no-one's ever ever [A]seen around
An[G]d w[D]hat she is or what she's become
I guess the [C]town will never know

[Verse 8]
[G]Child [Gm]come[G] away
[C]It's the [Bb]girl with the [Am]deputy [G]walking by
Child go and play
No I [Bb]won't give [Am]you reasons so [G]don't
