INTRO:
Dm  C  G  G
Dm  C  G  G


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


CHORUS:
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


CHORUS:
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


BDA K:
  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


CHORUS:
 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
