My Only Child Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]My [Bm]only ch[G]ild, be not so blind
See [Am]what you hold
[G]There are no words, no ears, no eyes
To show them what you [Am]know[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Their hands are old their faces [D]cold
[Am]Their bodies close to [C]freez[G]ing
Their [Am]feelings [G]find [Bm]the morn
[G]ing small
Too small to fill their ways with breathing
[D]The[G] evening tall
[Bm]My o[G]nly

[Verse 3]
child, remember well
The words that you are [Am]told[G]
[Bm]For some [G]of them,
it is only easy to survive

[Verse 4]
Their hands are [G]old their faces
[Am]cold
Their bodies close [G]to freezing
[Am]Their feel[G]ings find the morn[Bm]ing small
[G]The evening tall

[Verse 5]
Man and wife are [G]feasting the time
The time that lies [Am]be hind
[G]At home, in sweetness and delight
Drinking the bitter wine

[Verse 6]
Their [G]hands are old their faces [D]cold
Their [Am]bodies close to [C]freez[G]ing
Their feelings find the morning small
[D]The [G]evening tall
