Verse:
Dm C G
Who might know the passage of a goddess?
Dm C G
What might make these mortal lives aware?
F C
Well she might be the poet in the corner store
G Fmaj7
Or the catholic girl or the two bit whore
Fmaj7 C
When the children sing they know everything
G Fmaj7
But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring
C
And still they sing
C F
Ah ah ah ahhhhh ahhh
C
Ah ah ah ahhhh ah
F
Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh
Verse:
F C G
And when the ship that sails upon our ocean
Dm C G
Sets sail for the center of our sun
F C G
Well it just might make our mornings that much brighter
F C G
And her fingertips of rose might light on everyone
F C
But they won't touch the bums on the avenue
G Fmaj7
Or the killer on the corner but they might touch you
Fmaj7 C
When the children sing they know everything
G Fmaj7
But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring
C
And still they sing
C F
Ah ah ah ahhhhh ahhh
C
Ah ah ah ahhhh ah
F
Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh
Verse:
F C G
And if the wise men come to pay you homage
Dm C G
When the law comes knocking on your door
F
Well tell them that you're sleeping
C
Thinking very deeply
G Fmaj7
Run away and hide in the chapel dawn
BREAK:
C G
Smile, like you smiled for me
C G
Dance, through the mist with me
C G Fmaj7
Turn your head so you might not see the pain
C C F
Of a goddess alone in the rain
F C
When the children sing they know everything
G Fmaj7
But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring
C
And still they sing
