Chords for Archie Roach-Beautiful Child

_ _ _ _ _ _
Oh my beautiful child, _ _ _ my beautiful [A] _ child, _ _ _ the brightest of _ _ stars
_ Couldn't match your [D] sweet smile, _ _ _ but you grew up to sing
_ _ _ Far beyond your [A] young _ years, _ _ now all that _ remains
_ _ _ Is your memory [D] and _ tears, _ you were always to blame
_ And they put you [A] through hell, _ _ _ then they locked you away
_ _ _ In a dark [D] lonely cell, _ _ _ _ but you weren't really bad
_ _ _ _ [E] Just a little [A] bit wild, _ _ _ now they'll hound you no _ more
_ _ Oh my [D] beautiful child, _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _
beautiful, beautiful child
[E] Now [D] you are free, _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] free from this heartache and pain and [A] misery _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] When they found your body that day, some [D] said you smiled _ _
_ _ _ [A] And I wish I was with you right now, my beautiful [D] child _ _ _
_ You'd been locked up before, _ _ _ _ but you always [A] came back _ _
_ With your head held high, _ _ and so proud to [D] be _ black _
_ [A] But the last time you did, _ that you'd [D] never come home _ _
Yeah, they pushed you around, _ _ _ cause your skin wasn't [A] white _ _ _ _
And although you were gentle, _ _ _ you learned how to fight
_ And you fought all your _ life, _ no you didn't [A] fail _ _ _ _
But you deserve better, _ _ _ than to die [D] in some day _ _ _
Oh _ [G] beautiful, _ beautiful child, _ now you are free _ _ _
_ _ [E] Free from this heartache and pain and _ [A]
misery _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] When they found your body that day, [D] some said you smiled _ _ _
_ And [A] I wish I was with you right now, my beautiful child
_ And _ _ _ I wish I was with you right now, my beautiful [D] child _ _ _ _
