Verse 1
(G major) (A minor) (C major) (D major) (D minor) (D major) Oh (C major) speechless
(D major) child,
who want (A minor) s to (C major) touch you?
Oh (Dsus4) speechless (G major) child, no loving (A minor) star
Too dum (G major) b to (C major) scream,
too dumb to (E minor) an swer
Can only listen, (A minor) I'm (C major) locked (D major) the door
Can't (C major) stand (D major) the sound
of (G major) raging (C major) voices
Can't stand the (G major) sound
Boring (A minor) tongue
Shut (G major) in a (C major) place
Where (G major) none can (E minor) reach you
A (G major) better place (A minor)
Than (C major) this cruel (D major) one
Oh (G major) child
Oh, (F major) child, (G major) speechless (E minor) child,
your (G major) (E minor) (C major) mother blames (D major) you for (A minor) her (C major) trouble,
your father (G major) needs to
Take a fight, (A minor) and (G major) you're the
(C major) smallest and meanest. (E minor)
Close (A minor) the door, and (C major) close it (D major) tight.
(A minor) See all (D major) the joys of (A minor) family liv (C major) ing.
You're better off (G major) by far today
(A minor) Your private (G major) (C major) life, your private (G major) life (E minor)
Oh, (G major) (A minor) life is sweeter, so (C major) they (D major) say
Oh, (G major) child, oh, (F major) child,
(G major) speechless (E minor) child (G major) (C major) (E minor)
(A minor) (C major) (D major)
Oh, (C major) speechless (D major) child,
you'll (A minor) never reas (C major) on
Oh, speechless (G major) child, the day will (A minor) come
You'll (G major) haunt (C major) a man
whose days (G major) are (E minor) measured
Someday (G major) your (C major) knife will strike his (D major) thumb
(G major) Oh child, oh (F major) child, (G major) speechless (E minor) child (G major)
Oh child, oh (F major) child,
speechless (E minor) child (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(F major) (E minor) you
