(VERSE 1)

C F C

Her parents never took the young girl to church

F C Am G

Never spoke of his name, never read her his words

C F C

Two non-believers walking lost in this world

F C Am G

Took their baby with them what a sad little girl

(Verse 2)

C F C

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

F C Am G

Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs

C F C

She'd watch the TV and sit there on that couch

F C Am G

While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out

(Chorus 1)

Am F

And the drinking and the fighting

C G

Just got worse every night

Am F

Behind their couch she'd be hiding

C G

Oh what a sad little life

(Repeat - Intro)

(Verse 3)

C F C

And like it always does the bad just got worse

F C Am G

With every slap and every and curse

C F C

Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night

F C Am G

Used a gun on her mom & then took his life

(Chorus 2)

Am F

And some people from the city

C G

took the girl far away

Am F

to a new mom and a new dad

C G

Kisses and hugs every day

(Repeat - Intro)

C F C

First day of Sunday school the teacher walked in

F C Am G

And a small little girl stared at a picture of him

C F C

She said I know that man up there on that cross

F C Am G

I don't know his name but I know he got off

( Chorus 3 )

Am F

Cos he was there in my old house

C G

And held me close to his side

Am F

As I hid there behind our couch

C G

The night that my parents died
