C#   B    F#   C#

 C#
She's got smile that it seems to me
   B
Reminds me of childhood memories,
      F#
Where everything was as fresh
                    C#
As the bright blue sky
 C#
Now and then when I see her face
     B
She takes me away to that special place,
           F#
And if I stared too long,
                             C#
I'd probably break down and cry

Chorus:
 G#          B                    C#   C#
Woah, woah, woah, sweet child o' mine
 G#           B                  C#   C#
Woah, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

C#   B    F#   C#

 C#
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
   B
As if they thought of rain
   F#
I hate to look into those eyes
     C#
And see an ounce of pain
    C#
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
      B
Where as a child I'd hide
      F#
And pray for the thunder
                  C#
And the rain to quietly pass me by

Chorus:
 G#          B                    C#   C#
Woah, woah, woah, sweet child o' mine
 G#           B                  C#   C#
Woah, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
 G#          B                    C#   C#
Woah, woah, woah, sweet child o' mine
 G#           B                  C#   C#
Woah, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
