Beautiful Child

D                                 
Oh my beautiful child,  My 
   A
beautiful child
A                              
The brightest of stars, Couldn't 
                   D
match your sweet smile
D                                 
But you grew up too soon, Far 
              A
beyond your young years
A                                 
Now all that remains, Is your 
       D
memory and tears

D                                 
You were always to blame, And they
                 A
 put you through hell
A                                 
Then they locked you away, In a 
          D
dark lonely cell
D                                 
But you weren't really bad, Just a
            A
 little bit wild
A                                 
Now they'll hound you no more, Oh 
             D
my beautiful child


G                                  
Beautiful beautiful child, Now you 
D

E                                 
Free from this heartache and pain 
        A
and misery
G                              
When that I found your body that 
                 D
day, Some said you'd smiled
A                                 
And I wish I was with you right 
               D
now my beautiful child


D                                 
You'd been locked up before, But 
               A
you always came back
A                             
With your head held high and so 
               D
pround to be black
D                              
But the last time they came, How 
               A
could I have known
A                                 
When they took you away, That 
             D
you'd never come home

D                                 
Yet they pushed you around, cause 
                 A
your skin wasn't white
A                                 
And although you were gentle, You 
               D
learn't how to fight
D                                 
And you fought all your life, 
              A
Though you didn't fail
A                                 
But you deserved better than to 
          D
die in some jail


G                                  
Beautiful beautiful child, Now you 
D
are free
E                                 
Free from this heartache and pain 
        A
and misery
G                              
When that I found your body that 
                 D
day, Some said you'd smiled
A                                 
And I wish I was with you right 
               D
now my beautiful child
A                                 
And I wish I was with you right 
               D
now my beautiful child
