Introduction:
D A
Oh my beautiful child, My beautiful child
A D
The brightest of stars, Couldn't match your sweet smile
D A
But you grew up too soon, Far beyond your young years
A D
Now all that remains, Is your memory and tears
D A
You were always to blame, And they put you through hell
A D
Then they locked you away, In a dark lonely cell
D A
But you weren't really bad, Just a little bit wild
A D
Now they'll hound you no more, Oh my beautiful child
G D
Beautiful beautiful child, Now you are free
E A
Free from this heartache and pain and misery
G D
When that I found your body that day, Some said you'd smiled
A D
And I wish I was with you right now my beautiful child
D A
You'd been locked up before, But you always came back
A D
With your head held high and so pround to be black
D A
But the last time they came, How could I have known
A D
When they took you away, That you'd never come home
D A
Yet they pushed you around, cause your skin wasn't white
A D
And although you were gentle, You learn't how to fight
D A
And you fought all your life, Though you didn't fail
A D
But you deserved better than to die in some jail
G D
Beautiful beautiful child, Now you are free
E A
Free from this heartache and pain and misery
G D
When that I found your body that day, Some said you'd smiled
A D
And I wish I was with you right now my beautiful child
A D
And I wish I was with you right now my beautiful child
