Capo 1 to match recording


C                           F              C
Her Parents never took the young girl to church
        F           C           Am          G  
Never spoke of his name, never read her his word 
C                         F            C 
Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world 
            F         C          Am         G     
Took their baby with them what a sad little girl

C                           F            C
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
        F         C           Am          G  
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs
  C                         F            C                                            
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch 
           F         C             Am         G                                         
while her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out 

E-------------
B---10-8------
G--------10---

E-------------
           Am               F
and the drinking and the fighting 
  C                    G
just got worse every night 
        Am                   F                                    
behind their couch she'd be hiding 
 C                        G   
oh what a sad little life

 C                           F            C                                            
And like it always does the bad just got worse 
       F     C       Am     G                         
with every slap and every curse 
C                      F             C                                            
until her daddy in a drunk rage one night 
        F         C             Am       G                                         
used a gun on her mom and then took his life 
         Am             F            
and some people from a city 
C                   G      
took the girl far away 
     Am             F              
to a new mom and a new dad 
C                     G            
kisses and hugs every day

BRIDGE: (Same as before)
 C                                   F            C  
her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in 
        F            C                Am        G                         
and a small little girl stared at a picture of him 
C                            F             C                                            
she said I know that man up there on that cross 
        F          C         Am          G
I don't know his name but I know he got off 
               Am             F
cause he was there in my old house 
C                         G      
and held me close to his side 
          Am              F              
as I hid there behind our couch 
C                          G            
the night that my parents died

I believe the recorded version is capo 1 and if so, you may want to add that note so people are aware...
