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
Oh my beautiful child, My beautiful child
A D
The brightest of stars, Couldn't match your sweet smile

But you grew up too soon, Far beyond your young years

Now all that remains, Is your memory and tears

You were always to blame, And they put you through hell
