[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][C][F][F#][G][Bm][E][F][F#]
[Bm][Em][Bm]

[Verse 1]
She [Bm]left her
neighborhood in which everyone [F#]was f[Bm]ilthy [Em]rich[Bm]
She left her parents' home and [D]strayed with a vagabond
[A]who [D]made vows of love she'd [Bm]never heard
[F#]An d she believed his ev[Bm]ery word
[A]She [D]left no forwar[A]ding address,
[D]just took her [A]youth and happiness
[D]As [F#]with the boy she's banished [B]in,
the secret sweet[F#]ness of [B]their [A]sin
A young [D]girl,
[F#]a yo[Bm]ung girl of sixteen,[Em]
Child of [F#]springtime, [Bm]still free,
Lying here by the [F#]road[Bm]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm]
[Em]He t[Bm]old her love demanded space,
So they roamed [F#]from [Bm]place to place
Although she realized that she'd [D]sinned,
she threw caution to the wind as she followed him [F#]around
[Bm]While [F#]he slowly drag[Bm]ged her down
[A]So [D]overpowering[A] was her lov[D]e that it had made
[A]her captive of [D]the young [F#]girl's heart and soul [B]and mind
In other word[F#]s, love d[B]rove her b[A]lind
A young [D]girl,
[F#]a yo[Bm]ung girl of sixteen,[Em]
[G]Child of [F#]springtime, [Bm]feel free,
Lying here by the [F#]road.[Bm]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm]
Too much emotion for a girl,
She let her heart be[F#]come [Bm]her world.
But worlds that
God has never [D]wrought fall asunder,
we are taught
Had she been wiser, [F#]she'd have known
[Bm]She couldn't f[F#]eed him love [Bm]alone[A]
[D]She should [A]have known the day would come
[D]When he would quit her[A] just for crumbs[D]
He [F#]needed fresh new meat [B]to carve
And left her [F#]heart, soul [B]and mind to [A]starve
A [D]young [F#]girl, [Bm]a young girl of sixt[Em]een, child[G] of spri[F#]ngtime,
[Bm]still gree[Bm]n, lying here by the road.[F#]
Dead.
