Guy Clark – Madonna W Child Ca 1969 (Guitar)

 C                               Dm
Ah, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child

G                          C
Sat on the curb wearing a smile

        F           G              C   B   Am     G
That doubled up the years and trebled up the miles

      F          G            F   G      C
And comforts the babe in the softest of style

            Dm                      C
She woke up in San Francisco on the day she turned 16

Dm                                       F                     G
   Haight Street was something then, hey man, you should have seen

         C                                   F
And she took up with this drummer in some good time Texas scene

         G                                       F      G     C
And she loved him till the day they shipped him back home to Killeen

     C                                Dm
She said she danced up in North Beach when the need arose

        G                                               C
She's trying to start a little trade of making people clothes

   F                   G                 C   B Am       G
To feed the child and pay the rent and everybody knows

             F          G           F     G        C
She's a little hard for 21, but that's the way she goes

Dm                                   C
She's living on next to nothing and memories from the past

Dm                          F                 G
Just a fading flower child trying to make it last

                C                     F
She's got answers to some questions I would not dare to ask

G                                   F       G        C
Survival's never graceful when the changes come that fast

           C                       Dm
Ah, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child

G               C
Sat on the curb wearing a smil

     F              G              C   B Am     G
That doubled up the years and trebled up the miles

    F           G            F   G      C
And comforts the babe in the softest of style
