Embrace Me You Child


Embrace Me, You Child from No Secrets - 1972 G At night in bed D G I heard God whisper lullabyes Gmaj7 While Daddy next door A Whistled whiskey tunes G And sometimes when I wanted D G They would harmonize G7 C There was nothing those two couldn't do D G Embrace me you child C You're a child of mine D C G And I'm leaving everything I am to you D G C Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy" D C Bb G And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you" G F D G I thought together they must sing the moon away Gmaj7 A I thought that they must know each other well G F For the magic that they made D G When they played G7 C Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell D G Embrace me you child C You're a child of mine D C G And I'm leaving everything I am to you D G C Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy" D C Bb G And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you" G Then one night Daddy died D And went to Heaven Gmaj7 And God came down to earth A And slipped away G I pretended not to know D G I'd been abandoned G7 C But no one sang the night into the day G F D G And later night time songs came back again Gmaj7 But the singers don't compare A With those I knew G And I never figured out F G Where God and Daddy went G7 C But there was nothing those two couldn't do D G Embrace me you child C You're a child of mine D C G And I'm leaving everything I am to you D G C Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy" D C Bb G And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you" D G D G D G AH................
