A5        C5        F5          D5  A5     C5        F5              D5
 You were born in KC, Missouri      To a girl who wasn't married
A5          C5                     F5             D5 
 After your birth she brought you to the nursery
A5           C5                 F5            D5
 Kissed your head and told you not to worry
G5                     A5         D5       F5   F5 F5
 And then quietly she turned and slipped away

A5      C5             F5             D5    A5       C5               F5                 D5
 In the elevator her heart began to pound   To the rooftop, in her slippers, and her gown
A5      C5              F5              D5 
 On the edge, she took one last look around
G5                                C5
Then closed her eyes and pushed away

A5                  E5     G5
Speeding toward the ground
C5            A5            E5          G5
 Through the air without a sound    So gracefully

A5              C5            F5            D5     A5        C5         F5              D5
 Twelve flights down, nearly naked on the ground  Skin and tragedy always attract a crowd
A5     C5              F5             D5      A5       C5               F5            D5
 So it was when the policeman came around    He took more than fifty eyewitness accounts
G5           E5               A5    G5      F5       D5      G5       G5  C5
Each one in awe, for they'd never seen a girl so sad and beautiful.....

A5                   E5     G5
 Speeding toward the ground
C5           A5            E5    G5
Through the air without a sound
C5   A5                  E5     G5
   Speeding toward the ground
C5           A5            E5        G5        F5
Through the air without a sound  So gracefully
