The Oak Ridge Boys – Freckles (Guitar)

G                                                      C
They'd all called her Freckles when summer was coming around

        D                                                      G
All the kids that were running and laughing and some turned to brown

    G                                                   C
And I'd find her crying and hurt by the words that they said

    D                                     G
And follow her home just trying to be her friend

            G               Em
And I'd say Freckles you're pretty

          C                   G
There's a rainbow on your face

       C              G
Do you want to know a secret?

        Em         C         D
None of them could take your place

           G             Em
Cause your different and special

          C                    G
And she'd hold my hand and sigh

          C              D                   G
And say I always want to see me through your eyes

    G                                              C
But summers just turned into winters and then into years

    D                                            G
And slowly the smile of a woman replaced all her tears

    G                                                  C
And some how I knew in a while that my friend would be gone

   D                                         G
As I watched a sad ugly duckling turn into a swan

           G               Em
And I said Freckles you're special

          C                    G
And she'd hold my hold and sigh

          C              D                   G
And say I always want to see me through your eyes

    G                                         C
But soon she was flying, dancing laughing and proud

    D                                  G
And I took my place, a face alone in a crowd

                                                    C
Knowing her lovers can't see past her smooth golden skin

    D                                               G
And that's how I know that Freckles will come back again

             G          Em
And I'll say Freckles I love you

          C                   G
There's a rainbow on your face

                C                   G
Cause she'll be smiling through her teardrops

        Em     C    D
As she runs to my embrace

G               Em
Freckles you're special

           C                    G
And she'll take my hand and sigh

          C            D                   G
And say I only want to see me through your eyes

             G          Em
And I'll say Freckles I love you

          C                   G
There's a rainbow on your face

                C
Cause she'll be smiling through
