Simon & Garfunkel – Save The Life Of My Child (Guitar)

G
“Good God! Don’t Jump!”

G
A boy sat on the ledge

                     C             G
And old man who had fainted was revived

    F                             G        G7
And everyone agreed ‘twould be a miracle indeed

      C
If the boy survived

  C                    Dm
“Save the life of my child!”

                      C         G D F
Cried the desperate mother

G
The woman from the supermarket

G
Ran to call the cops

                     C           G
“He must be high on something,” someone said

G                            C
Thought it never made the New York Times

G                              C
In the Daily News the caption read

C                     Dm
“Save the life of my child!”

                      C         G D F
Cried the desperate mother

G
A patrol car passing by

G
Halted to a stop

               C             G
Said officer MacDougal in dismay

     G                  C
“The force can’t do a decent job

            G
‘Cause the kids got no respect

             C
For the law today” (and blah blah blah)

C                     Dm
“Save the life of my child!”

                     C
Cried the desperate mother

                              Dm7
“Oh, what’s becoming of the children?”

 Dm                    C
People asking each other

G
When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd

G
And it made them wild

                     C          G
In an atmosphere of freaky holiday

G
When the spotlight hit the boy

G
The crowd began to cheer

C
He flew away

F                       C
“Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place”

F                       C
“Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place”
