Loretta Lynn – God Bless The Children (Guitar)

 D                   G
"God bless Mommy," a little boy says

         A                        D
From the corner of the floor that he calls bed

    D                           G
His mama walks the streets in a dress of red

        A                         D
And the rest of the world goes to bed

 D                   G
"God bless Daddy," a little girl cries

 A                             D
"Mommy, why does Daddy work so late at night?"

D                             G
Mama holds the tears that she knows she'll weep

        A                         D
And the rest of the world goes to sleep

D                       G
God bless the children everywhere

A                        D
Poor little souls with a cross to bear

  D                             G
I guess when He said 'bring the little ones to me'

    A                      D               G  A
The good Lord knew how the world would be

 D#                       G#
"How could they, Lord?" a doctor cries

      Bb                           D#
As he fights to save the life of a dying child

     D#                G#
They beat him, Lord, beyond repair

       Bb                       D#
As the rest of the world says a prayer

 D#              G#
"God help me," a young man cries

      Bb                             D#
As he sees the deadly drugs take his young friend's life

       D#                   G#
Please help them, Lord, for they are blind

     Bb              D#
They only search for peace of mind

D#                      G#
God bless the children everywhere

Bb                       D#
Poor little souls with a cross to bear

       D#                           G#
As the final light is dimmed, Lord, hear my prayer

Bb N.C.                       D#   G#  Bb  D#
God bless the children everywhere
