[G]
You've been working so hard [C] all day, won't you take [G] your breath?
You've been driving my blues [C] away, now it [G] is my turn.
Come climb beneath my [C]
wings, sweet child [Gm] it may not be [G] for long.
[C]
[G] Well I may be a [C] drinkin' heart, like a fish [G] that swims.
Well I could be a [C] ridin' heart, like a [G] floatin' cloud.
And if the [C] rain does fall, sweet [Gm] child I would not let you drown.
[G]
Well I would not care [C] to see, I would [G]
not care [C] to know, where your heart [G] lies.
I would try to trust [C] my heart, but [Gm] my heart is lovely lonely.
[G] Sweet child come to me [C] now, let me [G] take your hand.
Well I do not know [C] you well, yet I've tried [G] so hard.
For twenty [C] years, sweet child [Gm] I still don't understand.

[Gm]
Well I'm a [G] God, I'm a [C] great man, who could save [G] us all.
With my [C] uncontrolled heart, so love is [G] never gone.
I really want to [C] know, sweet [Gm] child who could shut them down.
[G]
And I've thought [C] about it around, who does sing [G] his lullaby.
Who shuts his [C] ears upon, every mortal [G] sorrow.
I wonder does [C] he ask, sweet child [Gm] for death to come for [Dm] him.
[C]
[G] And I once did see a [C] child, she did sit [G] on the ground.
Where has the pretty [C] flower, in the [G] darkness gone.
In the summer you [C] shall see, sweet [Gm] child I guess it won't be long.
Won't you lay [G] yourself [C] down and rest, let your mind [G] relax.
Won't you cuddle into [C] the mind, oh God [G] you're.
Well I may not be here [C] now, cause I've got [Gm] a feeling to take on.
