C
Her parents never took
F                  C
the young girl to church
        F           C
Never spoke of his name
       Am            G
never read her his words

 C
Two non-believers walkin'
F              C
lost in this world
             F          C
took their baby with them
        Am          G
what a sad little girl

  C
Her Daddy drank all day
      F          C
and mommy did drugs
        F         C
Never wanted to play or
       Am         G
give kisses and hugs


She'd watch the T.V

and sit there on the couch

While her Mom fell asleep

and her Daddy went out


 Am                         F
And the Drinking and the fighting
 C                 G
Just got worse everynight
        Am                     F
behind their couch shes been hiding
 C                      G
oh, what a sad little life

 C
And like it always does
     F             C
the bad just got worse
       F     C
with every slap
          Am      G
and with every curse


C
Untill her Daddy
       F              C
in a drunk rage one night
       F           C
Put a gun to her mom
      Am            G
and then took his life



Am                       F
And some people in the city
C                   G
took the girl far away
       Am            F
To a new mom and a new Dad
 Am                 G
Kisses and hugs everyday

C
The first day of sunday school
     F
the teacher walked in
          C
And the small little girl
               Am       G
looked at a picture of him
C
She said I know that man
     F             C
Up there on that cross
   F              C
I dont know his name
 Am                G
but I know he got off


Am
Cause he was there in
     F
my old house and
     C                    G
he held me close to his side
    Am                 F
as I hid their behind our couch
 C                          G
The night that my parents died
