(Verse 1&2)
[G]I MET HER AT THE [C]MISSION
LIVIN' [D]JUST THIS SIDE OF [G]SIN
HER [C]MOUTH WAS SOFT AND WHEN[G] SHE SPOKE
[D]LORD, I FELL RIGHT IN
SHE HAD A [G]BABY IN A BLA[C]NKET
A [D]DOLLAR AND A [G]HALF
[C]SHE LOOKED A LITTLE LE[G]ERY
SHE [D]LET OUT A LITTLE LAUGH
[G]I OPENED UP MY OVE[C]RCOAT
[D]INVITED THEM IN[G]SIDE
TWO [C]FRAGILE LITTLE FL[G]OWERS
WITH N[D]OWHERE LEFT TO HIDE
SHE [C]SAID HER OLD MAN LEFT[D] HER
JUST BE[Em7]FORE THE [D]BABY CAME[C]
I COULD [Am7]FEEL THE TEARS WELL UP INSIDE
EACH TIME[Dsus] SHE SPOKE HIS N[D]AME
CHORUS..
[Bm7]SWING [C]LOW, S[D]WING [G]LOW
[C]SWEET [D]ANGEL [G]FACE [Am7][G/B]
[C]WHY WOULD [D]SUCH [Em7]A SI[D]MPLE [C]CHILD
[Am7]COME TO SUC[D]H A PLACE[G] [D/G][C/G]
(Verse 3)
WE TALKED UNTIL THE WIND DIED DOWN
THE BABY WOKE AND STIRRED
SHE MADE A LITTLE HUSHING SOUND
SPOKE SOME MAGIC WORD
THE BABY YAWNED AND SMILED AT ME
AS SHE SAID WE CAN'T STAY
SHE THANKED ME FOR MY KINDNESS
TURNED AND WALKED AWAY
REPEAT CHORUS
(Verse 4)
I THINK ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME
I HOPE THEY'VE FOUND A HOME
IT SEEMS THAT IT'S MY CALLING NOW
TO WALK THESE STREETS ALONE
SOMETIMES WHEN THE WIND IS RIGHT
I CAN SMELL HER SWEET PERFUME
AND THINK ABOUT THE WARM EMBRACE
THAT ENDED ALL TOO SOON
REPEAT CHORUS
Note: It's hard to get some of these chords in the Right Place,
But if you listen to the cd, you should be able to get it.
Here's how you play the D/G Chord, Just play and D and use your thumb
for the G note on the low E String
