Dave Cousins - Song Of A Sad Little Girl
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C G C G C G C
[Verse 1]
F
She looks so frail beside you
As she wears her sick disguise
Am
You say she'll soon be better
C
As you dry her tearful eyes
F
You tell her fairy stories
She tries to understand
Am
She looks to you for comfort
C
And holds out her little hand
[Chorus]
F
But early in the morning
C
When the sun shines
D7 C#
Into her tiny room
F
She wakes up like a bird
C
And she's fine again
[Verse 2]
F
You gently kiss her forehead
And from the room you creep
Am
But you linger in the doorway
C
As she whimpers in her sleep
F
Her cheeks are flushed like sunset
And her head's an open fire
Am
All night she turns and tosses
C
As her temperature gets higher
[Chorus]
F
But early in the morning
C
When the sun shines
D7 C#
Into her tiny room
F
She wakes up like a bird
C
And she's fine again
[Verse 3]
F
The nightlight in the corner
Casts a soft and peaceful glow
Am
Her face becomes much cooler
C
And her breathing much more slow
F
She dreams of clowns and princes
Sailing boats and trains
Am
The fairies come by moonlight
C
To take away her pain
[Chorus]
F
But early in the morning
C
When the sun shines
D7 C#
Into her tiny room
F
She wakes up like a bird
C
And she's fine again
F
She wakes up like a bird
C
And she feels fine
