Embrace Me, You Child from No Secrets - 1972
G
At night in bed
DG
I heard God whisper lullabyes
Gmaj7
While Daddy next door
A
Whistled whiskey tunes
G
And sometimes when I wanted
DG
They would harmonize
G7C
There was nothing those two couldn't do
DG
Embrace me you child
C
You're a child of mine
DCG
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
DGC
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
DCBbG
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
GFDG
I thought together they must sing the moon away
Gmaj7A
I thought that they must know each other well
GF
For the magic that they made
DG
When they played
G7C
Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell
DG
Embrace me you child
C
You're a child of mine
DCG
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
DGC
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
DCBbG
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
DG
I'd been abandoned
G7C
But no one sang the night into the day
GFDG
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
FG
Where God and Daddy went
G7C
But there was nothing those two couldn't do
DG
Embrace me you child
C
You're a child of mine
DCG
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
DGC
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"
DCBbG
And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
