Rosanne Cash Child of Steel Written By: Rosanne Cash
Capo 3rd Fret
[Verse]
G
I'd give a lifetime baby
Am
To see you smile
G
If you could give your troubles over
Am
For just a little while
G C D
And look at the truth
G C D
It's right here staring at you
Am Em D
Oh, angels bow when you walk by
Am Em D
And the rest of us here have always known why
[Chorus]
G C D G
Cause the soul takes it's blows and it does not re- veal
C D Am
And the heart opens slow and it takes time to heal
C D
But you can let go, It'll all turn to gold
G C D G C D
My sweet child of steel
[Verse]
G
And I watch you walk through fire
Am
When clear water runs near
G
I watch your heart break open wide
Am
A heart I hold so dear
G C D
But look at the truth
G C D
It could burn a hole right through you
Am Em D
Oh, angels bow and cover their eyes
Am Em D
And the rest of us here could just break down and cry
[Chorus] x2
G C D G
Cause the soul takes it's blows and it does not re- veal
C D Am
And the heart opens slow and it takes time to heal
C D
But you can let go, It'll all turn to gold
G C D G C D
My sweet child of steel
