Verse 1
She'd (C major) slip away each (F major) day
with the (G major) dimming light (C major)
And with the sweetest smile she'd
(F major) kiss the child (G major) goodnight (C major)
At the mill (F major) she'd work her
fingers till they (G major) (C major) were raw
For the sake of her son and the
(B flat major) daddy he (G major) never saw
(C major)
