[Intro]
(Lead guitar, rhythm fades in on D at end of first time)
| D   | D   | C   | C   | G   | G   | D   | D   |

[Verse 1]
D
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Cadd9
Reminds me of childhood memories
       G                                         D
Where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky
D
Now and then when I see her face
    Cadd9
She takes me away to that special place
           G                                        D
And if I stay too long I'd probably break down and cry
 
[Chorus]
A    C                  D
Oooooh, sweet child of mine
A    C                 D
Oooooh, sweet love of mine
 
[Instrumental]
| D   | D   | C   | C   | G   | G   | D   | D   |
 
[Verse 2]
D
She's got eyes of the bluest sky
Cadd9
And if they thought of rain
G                                     D
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
D
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
      Cadd9
Where as a child I'd hide
     G                                      D
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
 
[Chorus]
A    C                  D
Oooooh, sweet child of mine
A    C                 D
Oooooh, sweet love of mine
 
[Instrumental]
| D   | D   | C   | C   | G   | G   | D   | D   |
| D   | D   | C   | C   | G   | G   | D   | D   |
 
[Chorus]
A    C                  D
Oooooh, sweet child of mine
A    C                 D
Oooooh, sweet love of mine
 
A    C                  D
Oooooh, sweet child of mine, ooh yeah
A    C                 D
Oooooh, sweet love of mine
 
[Outro]
D
Where do we go?
Cadd9
Where do we go now?
G
Where do we go?
                D
Sweet child o' mine
