I usually capo 3 for this, so it’s just higher than an
octave down from the original.
I usually lead in with a slow rendition of the riff,
an octave down (open position).

D |
She’s got a smile that it seems to me |
C | |
Re | minds me of childhood memories |
G | |
Where e | verything |
D | |
Was as fresh as the bright blue | sky |
D |
Now and then when I see her face |
C | |
She | takes me away to that special place |
G | |
And if I’d | stare too long |
D | |
I’d probably break down and | cry |
Soft, crescendo through the chorus
A | C | D |
Woah, | oh, sweet child o’ | mine |
A | C | D |
Woah, | oh, sweet love of | mine |
D |
She’s got eyes of the bluest skies |
C | |
As | if they thought of rain |
G | |
I’d | hate to look into those eyes |
D | |
And | see an ounce of pain |
D | |
Her | hair reminds me of a warm safe place |
C | |
Where | as a child I’d hide |
G | |
And | pray for the thunder and the rain |
D | |
To | quietly pass me by |
A | C | D |
Woah, | oh, sweet child o’ | mine |
A | C | D |
Woah, | oh, sweet love of | mine |
A | C | D |
Woah, | oh, sweet child o’ | mine, oooh yeah |
A | C | D |
Woah, | oh, sweet love of | mine |
Cha!
