The Little Girl Chords

---------------------------The Little Girl---------------------------
 
Capo 1
 
[Verse 1]
C
Her parents never took the young girl to church,
                    Am                      G
Never spoke of His name, never read her His Word.
C
Two non-believers walking lost in this world.
                     Am                        G
Took their baby with them, oh what a sad little girl.
C
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs.
                   Am                   G
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs.
C
She'd watch the TV and sit there on that couch,
                      Am                     G
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out.
 
[Chorus 1]
        F                   Fmaj7
And the drinking, and the fighting,
C                    G
Just got worse every night.
       F                     Fmaj7
Behind their couch, she'd be hiding,
C                     G
Oh what a sad little life.
 
[Verse 2]
C
And like it always does, the bad just got worse,
         Am               G
With ever slap, and every curse.
C
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night,
                 Am                     G
Used a gun on her mom, and then took his life.
 
[Chorus 2]
          F               Fmaj7
Then some people, from the city,
C                 G
Took the girl far away.
         F          Fmaj7
To a new mom, and a new daddy.
C                     G
Kisses and hugs every day.
 
[Verse 3]
C
First day of Sunday school, the teacher walked in,
                   Am                            G
Saw a small little girl, staring at a picture of him.
C
She said I know that man, there on that cross,
                 Am                     G
I don't know his name, but I know he got off.
 
[Chorus 3]
             F           Fmaj7
Cause he was there in my old house,
C                     G
Held me close to his side.
     F                Fmaj7
As I hid there behind our couch.
C                         G
The night that my parents died.
