My Child ~ Blood Brothers Mrs Lyons
B                    E/F#     B
Each day I look out from this window

B                          E/F#                 B
I see him with his friends,     I hear him call,

       Gdim                        B
I rush down but as I fold my arms around him

         Gdim            A#dim    B
He's gone    was he ever there at all?

     B                  E/F#           B
I've dreamed of all the places I would take him

                        E/F#            B
The games we'd play the stories I would tell

    Gdim                                   B
The jokes we'd share, the clothing I would make him

  Gdim       A#dim                 B
I reach out  but as I do, he fades away.

   D            Bm7        D           Bm7
If my child was raised I a palace like this one

   D                Bm7
He wouldn't have to worry where

    D                    Bm7
His next meal was comin' from

He'd have all his own toys

      D         Bm
And a garden to play in
Mrs Johnstone
         D                  Bm
He could make too much noise

            D             Bm
Without the neighbours complainin'
Mrs Lyons
       Em
Silver trays to take meals on

A bike with both wheels on?

    And he'd sleep every night

     D          Bm
In a bed of his own
Mrs Johnstone
            D        Bm
He wouldn't get into fights

           D        Bm
He'd leave matches alone

    Em
And you'd never find him

A7                  A  Asus4/B 
Effin' and blindin'
(Mrs l- no never)
A/C#   D             Bm
    And when he grew up

         D        Bm
He could never be told

   D               Bm
To stand and queue up

             D          Bm
For hours on end at the dole

     Em
He'd grow up to be
