Embrace Me, You Child Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]At night I heard God whisper lullabies
While Daddy next door whistled whisky [A]tunes
[G]And sometimes when I wanted,
they would harmonize
There was nothing those
two couldn't [C]do

[Verse 2]
Em[D]brace me you [G]child,
you're a [C]child of mine
And I'm [D]leaving [C]everything I am [G]to you
[D]Go chase the [G]wild [C]and
nightime streets sang Daddy
And [D]God sang,
[C]Pray the [Bb]devil doesn't get to [G]you

[Verse 3]
I thought [G]together [F]they
must sing [G]the moon away
I thought that they must know
each other [A]well[G]
For the magic that they [F]made,
when [G]they played
Wasn't lost between their Heaven and [C]their[D][G][C]
[D]Hel[C]l

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][C][D][C][Bb][G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
Then one night Daddy [G]died
and went to Heaven
And God came down to earth
and slipped [A]away[G]
I pretended not to notice
I'd been abandoned
But no-one sang sang
the night into [C]the day
[G]And later night time [F]songs came
[G]back again
But the singers don't compare
with those I [A]knew[G]
And I never figured out where
God and Daddy went
But there was nothing those two couldn't [C]do[D]

[Outro 1]
