C G C F C Am G

___Her parents never took the young girl to Church; never spoke of His name, never read her His word

C G C F C Am G

___Two non-believers walking lost in this world, Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl

C G C F C Am G

___Her Daddy drank all day and Mommy did drugs, Never wanted to play, Or give kisses and hugs

C G C F C Am G

___She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch, While her Mom fell asleep, And her Daddy went out

[Chorus]

(G) Am F G F C G

And the drink--ing and the fight--ing, ____Just got worse every night

(G) Am F G F C G Pause

Behind their couch she'd be hid----ing, ____Oh, what a sad little life _______

[Repeat Intro] C G C F C G C

___And like it always does, The bad just got worse, With every slap and every curse,

C G C F C Am G

___Until her Daddy in a drunk rage one night, Used a gun on her Mom, And then took his life

[Chorus]

(G) Am F G F C G

And some peo---ple from the ci----ty, ____Took the girl far away

(G) Am F G F C G Pause

To a new Mom and a new Dad, ___Kisses and hugs everyday _____

[Repeat Intro] C G C F C G C

C G C F C Am G

____She said, "I know that Man up there on that cross I don't know His name but I know He got off

[Chorus]

(G) Am F G F C G

Cause he was there in my old house ____And held me close to His side

(G) Am F G F C G

As I __hid __there behind our couch ____The night that my parents died"
