Child of Midnight

guitar chords lyrics

Jim Croce

Album : The 50th Anniversary Collection folk PlayStop



I couldn't find any chords online for this truly wonderful song by Jim and Ingrid,
so I gave it a go.
It's my first tab and I'm sure it's not accurate but it sounds close to right.
Comments are more than welcome!

Intro - Em9

Em9 A4 /B
She stood by the window and let down her hair
C C/B A4 A

Asked if I knew that I shouldn't be there
Em9 A4 /B
Her lips said goodbye but her body said stay
C C/B A4 A
I knew I should go but I stayed anyway


G G/F# Em7
And they called her child of midnight
C
And they say she'd love
Dsus2
Whomever she'd find
G G/F# Em7
But when morning came I loved her
C Dsus2
And she stayed there in my mind


Em9 A4 /B
She stood by the window and let down her hair
C C/B A4 A
Asked if I thought that it was right
Em9 A4 /B
That she give her body and I give my mind
C C/B A
I looked for an answer all the night


G G/F# Em7
And they called her child of midnight
C
And they say she'd love
Dsus2
Whomever she'd find
G G/F# Em7
But when morning came I loved her
C Dsus2
And she stayed there in my mind


Em9 A4 /B
She stood by the window and tied up her hair
C C/B A4 A
Acted as if I had never been there
Em9 A4 /B
Her lips said goodbye but her body said stay
C C/B A4 A
I knew I should go but I stayed anyway


G G/F# Em7
And they called her child of midnight
C
And they say she'd love
Dsus2
Whomever she'd find
G G/F# Em7
But when morning came I loved her
C Dsus2
And she stayed there in my mind
