The Little Girl (feat. Alison Krauss & Dan Tyminski) Chords

_ Her _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _
_ parents never took a young girl to church, never spoke of his name, [Bb] never read her [Ab] his word.
[Db] Two non-believers walking lost in this world, took their baby with them.
What a [Ab] sad little girl.
[Db] Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs, never wanted to play or give [Ab] kisses and [Db] hugs.
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch while her mom fell asleep and her daddy [Ab] went out. _
And the [Bbm] drinking [Ab] and the [Gb] fighting _ [Db] just got worse every [Ab] _ night.
Behind their [Bbm] couch she'd be [Gb] hiding.
_ [Db] Oh, what a sad little [Ab] life. _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _
And like it always does, the bad just got worse with every slap and [Ab] every curse.
[Db] Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night used a gun on her mom and then [Ab] took his life.
And some [Bbm] people [Abm] from the [Gb]
city [Db] took the girl [Ab] far away _ to a new [Bbm] mom and a [Gb] new dad.
[Db] _ Kisses and hugs every [Ab] day. _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in and a small little girl stared [Bbm] at
a picture [Ab] of him.
[Db] She said, I know that man up there on that cross.
I don't know his name, but I know [Ab] he got off.
_ Cause he was [Bbm] there in my [Gb] old house [Db] and held me close [Ab] to his side.
As I [Bbm] hid there [Abm] behind [Gb] our couch, [Db] the night that my [Ab] parents died.
