Nanci Griffith - If i were a child

^GSunday morning h^Dell, it's finall^Cy come ^G Washed t^Dhese bleary eyed^C windows just to see the sun ^GAnd I ke^EMep on thinking i^At will pass some time ^CBring back the peace of ^Dmind and carry that old smile of mine

^CIf I were a child I woul^Gd cry and beg yo^EMur pardon ^CIf I wer^De a begg^Gar I would hold ^EMout my h^Cand ^DIf I were an ang^Gel I would smile^EM and say^C you owe me But I am just a ^Dlady you^C never tried to ^Gunderstand

^GWhy am I^D so cold inside ^Ctoday ^G These ho^Dme town streets ^Clook so dirty and gray ^GAnd I do^EMn't want to save^A it until the night rolls in ^CDo you feel the pain my ^Gfriend? ^CWell it'^Ds alright

^GThose ol^Dd morning after ^Cblues go a hold of me ^GI'm a Sa^Dturday night dru^Cnk with no place to drink ^GAnd I do^EMn't want^A to face the truth I see in me ^C"Ca^Duse in my mind I^G already^C going home to Satan

^DI am jus^Ct a lady^G I've tr^Died so hard to understand.
