June 18 1976

Am        C        F          Dm
 You were born in KC, Missouri  
  Am     C        F              Dm
    To a girl who wasn't married
Am          C                     
 After your birth she brought you 
F             Dm
to the nursery
Am           C                 F
 Kissed your head and told you 
            Dm
not to worry
G                     Am         
 And then quietly she turned and 
Dm       F   Fadd9 F
slipped away

Am      C             F         
 In the elevator her heart began
    Dm    Am       C              
 to pound   To the rooftop, in her
 F                 Dm
 slippers, and her gown
Am      C              F        
 On the edge, she took one last 
      Dm
look around

G                                C
Then closed her eyes and pushed away

Am                  Em     G
Speeding toward the ground
C            Am            Em   
 Through the air without a sound
       G
    So gracefully

Am              C            F  
 Twelve flights down, nearly 
          Dm     Am        
naked on the ground  Skin and 
C         F              Dm
tragedy always attract a crowd
Am     C              F         
 So it was when the policeman 
    Dm      Am       C           
came around    He took more than 
    F            Dm
fifty eyewitness accounts
G           E               Am   
Each one in awe, for they'd never
 G      F       Dm   
 seen a girl so sad and 
   G       G7  C
beautiful.....

Am                   Em     G
 Speeding toward the ground
C           Am            Em    G
Through the air without a sound
C   Am                  Em     G
   Speeding toward the ground
C           Am            Em    
Through the air without a sound 
    G        F
 So gracefully
