[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I met her at the [C]mission
Living [D]just this side [G]of sin
Her [C]mouth was soft and when [G]she spoke
[D]Lord, I fell right in
[G]She had

[Verse 2]
a baby in [C]a blanket
A [D]dollar and [G]a half
[C]She looked a little [G]leery
She [D]let out a little laugh

[Verse 3]
[G]Opened up my ove[C]rcoat
[D]Invited them insid[G]e
Two [C]fragile little flower[G]s
With [D]nowhere left to hide

[Verse 4]
She [C]said her old man [D]left her
Just be[Em]fore the [D]baby [C]came
I could [Am]feel the tears well up inside
[D]Each time she spoke his name

[Verse 5]
[D]Swing [Bm]low,[C] swing[D] low[G]
[C]Sweet ang[D]el fac[G]e[Am][G]
[C]Why [D]would such [Em]a
[D]simple [C]child[Am]
Come to [D]such a place?
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
[G]
We talked until the [C]wind died down
[D]Baby woke and[G] stirred
[C]She made a little hush[G]ing sound
[D]Spoke some magic word

[Verse 7]
[C]The baby yawned and[D] smiled at me
But [Em]she said, [D]"We can't [C]stay"
[Am]She thanked me for my kindness
[D]Turned and walked away

[Verse 8]
[G]Swing [Bm]low,[C] swing[D] low[G][C]
Sweet [D]angel [G]fac[Am]e[G]
[C]Why [D]would such [Em]a
[D]simple [C]child[Am]
Come to [D]such a place?

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D]
[G][C][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 9]
I think about them [G]all the time
[D]Hope they found the[G]ir home
[C]Seems that it's my calling[G] now
[D]To walk these streets alone

[Verse 10]
[C]Sometimes when the wind [D]is right
I can [Em]smell her [D]sweet per[C]fume
[Am]I think about the warm embrace
That [D]ended all too soon

[Verse 11]
[G]Swing [C]low, [D]swing [G]low[C]
Sweet [D]angel [G]fac[Am]e[G]
[C]Why [D]would such [Em]a
[D]simple [C]child[Am]
Come to [D]such a [G]place?

[Verse 12]
[Am]Oh, oh, oh, [G]why[C] wou[D]ld such
[Em]a si[D]mple chi[C]ld[Am]
Come to [D]such a place?
