The Little Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Her parents never took
the young girl to church
Never spoke of his name,
never [Am]read her his [G]word
[C]Two non believers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them
What a [Am]sad little [G]girl
[C]Her daddy drank all day
and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play or give [Am]kisses and [G]hugs
[C]She'd watched the TV
and sit there on the couch
While her mom fell asleep
and her [Am]daddy went [G]out

[Chorus 1]
And the [Am]drinking and the [F]fighting
[C]Just got worse every nig[G]ht
Behind [Am]their couch she'd be [F]hiding
[C]Oh, what a sad little lif[G]e

[Interlude 1]
[C][C]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]And like it always does
the bad just got worse
With every slap and [Am]every [G]curse
[C]Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom and [Am]then took his [G]life

[Chorus 2]
And some [Am]peo ple
from the [F]ci ty
[C]took the girl far away[G]
To a [Am]new Mom and a n[F]ew Dad
[C]Kisses and hugs every day[G]

[Interlude 2]
[C][C]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Her first day at Sunday school
The teacher walked in
And a small little girl stared
at a [Am]picture of [G]Him
[C]She said I know that man
there on that cross
I don't know his name
But I [Am]know he got [G]off

[Chorus 3]
'Cause he was [Am]there in
my [F]old house
[C]And held me close to his sid[G]e
As I [Am]hid there behind [F]our couch
[C]The night that my parents die[G]d

[Outro 1]
