A
Child come away
C Bm A
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
A
Child go and play
C Bm A
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
[Verse 1]
A
I read the story about a week ago
C Bm A
They found her on the beach that night
A
They thought the light had gone out of her eyes
C Bm A
and no-one thinks she'll ever be right
C Em
She was so full of her life
C D G
Happy with the people she knew
C D E E
But then no-one can tell
[Chorus 1]
A
Child come away
C Bm A
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
A
Child go and play
C Bm A
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
[Verse 2]
A
Guess all they found were some marks in the sand
C Bm A
A message saying 'She is mine'
A
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
C Bm A
Well nobody dares to anytime
C Em
She was so full of her life
C D G
The girl that everybody once knew
C D E E
But now no-one can tell
[Chorus 2]
A
Child come away
C Bm A
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
A
Child go and play
C Bm A
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
[Bridge]
E
And when they read a story out to the judge
D
I heard they had to turn away
A A C Bm A
It's all over town
A A C Bm A
[Verse 3]
A
I saw her face in the back of a car
C Bm A
As they were speeding out of town
A
She's got a mark on the side of her face
C Bm A
that no-one's ever seen around
E
And what she is or what she's become
D
I guess the town will never know
[Chorus 3]
A
Child come away
C Bm A
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
A
Child go and play
C Bm A A A
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
