Nanci Griffith – If I Were A Child (Guitar)

G               D               C       G
Sunday morning hell, it's finally come

        D               C
Washed these bleary eyed windows just to see the sun

G       EM              A
And I keep on thinking it will pass some time

C                       D
Bring back the peace of mind and carry that old smile of mine

C                       G               EM
If I were a child I would cry and beg your pardon

C       D       G               EM      C
If I were a beggar I would hold out my hand

D               G               EM      C
If I were an angel I would smile and say you owe me

                D       C               G
But I am just a lady you never tried to understand

G       D               C       G
Why am I so cold inside today

        D               C
These home town streets look so dirty and gray

G       EM              A
And I don't want to save it until the night rolls in

C                       G
Do you feel the pain my friend?

C       D
Well it's alright

G       D               C       
Those old morning after blues go a hold of me

G       D               C
I'm a Saturday night drunk with no place to drink

G       EM      A
And I don't want to face the truth I see in me

C       D               G       C
"Cause in my mind I already going home to Satan

D       C       G       D
I am just a lady I've tried so hard to understand.
