(verse)
( D )Poor girl, ( D9 )no ma
( D7M )Nothing much ( D )to ( D7M )speak of
( Em ) But (D/F# ) A ( G )rough ( G7M )dia( G6 )mond
(Gm )Sleep now and angels will (D)come, dear
(verse)
Poor Matilda
Handcuffed hard to the wheel
And steering wildly
Through loves field, so blindly
(Chorus)
(Dm )Forever only (C)takes it's toll on (G)some
( G ) But ( A )to( Bm )night you're ( A )sleeping ( G )alone
( G7M )With( G6 )out Him
( A )To( Bm )night you're ( A )sleeping ( G )alone
( G7M )With( G6 )out him
And ( Em6 )everything went ( Em )up ( Em6 )in
( G )smoke
Like ( A )Wild( D/F# )flow( G )ers ( G7M ) ( G6 )
( A )Wild( D/F# )flow( G )ers, ( G7M )dear ( G6 )
(verse)
Poor girl, lonely
Shuffles through the parade
Of a sleepless circus promenade
Hold on, dear
(verse)
Poor girl, no ma
Sister steals her a coat
For the windless breezes
Sleep now and Jesus will come dear
(repeat chorus)
