She's got a smile that it seems to me__
+6   +7  -7 +6  +7    -7  +7 -7  -6
Re-minds me of child-hood me-mor-ies
 +6  +7 -7 +6   +7
Where e-ver-y-thing
-7   +6 +7   -7 +6    +7    +7  +7 -7
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky__
-8  -8   -8   +7 -7 +7  -8   -7
Now and then when I see her face
-8   +7   -7 +6  +7 -7  +6
She takes me  a-way to that
 +7  -8   +7
spec-ial place
-7  +7 -7   +7   -7   +7 
And if  I stared too long
-7   +7   +6  +7    +7  +7  +7 -8
I'd prob-'ly break down and cry

-8  +8 -8 +7  +7    +7   +7  +7 -7
Oh___o_oh___ Sweet child o' mine__
-8  +7 -7 +7 -7  +6    -6  -7  +6
Oh___o-oh______ Sweet love of mine

-8    -8   -8  +7 -7  +7  -8   -7
She's got eyes of the blu-est skies
+6 +7  -7   +7     -7 -6  +6
As if they thought of rain__
+6  +7  +7  +7  +7 +7   +6   +7
 I hate to look in-to those eyes
 +7 +7  -7   +7  +7  +7 -7 +6
And see an ounce of pain_____
-8   -8  -8  +7   -7
Her hair re-minds me
+7 -8 -7    -8   +7  -7 
of  a warm safe place___
 +6   +7 -7 +7    -8 +7 -7 -6
Where as  a child I'd hide___
 +6  +7  +7   +6  +7  -7
And pray for the thun-der
 +7 -7  +7
And the rain
+6 +7  -7 +6  +7  -8 +7 -7 +6  
To qui-et-ly pass me by______

[repeat 3x]:
-8  +8 -8 +7  +7    +7   +7  +7 -7
Oh___o_oh___ Sweet child o' mine__
-8  +7 -7 +7 -7  +6    -6  -7  +6
Oh___o-oh______ Sweet love of mine

[songs ends with long guitar solo and these
last lines spoken and then sung with much
wailing and repetition by Mr. Rose]:
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
