[Verse 1]
 
C
She's got a smile 

That it seems to me

  Bb
Reminds me of 

Childhood memories
       F
Where everything
                                
Was as fresh as 

                C
A bright blue sky

C
Now and then when 

I see her face

    Bb
She takes me away

 to that special place

         F
And if I stared too long

                              C
I'd probably break down and cry
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G               Bb              C
Whoa oh, sweet child o' mine

G               Bb             
Whoa, oh, oh, oh 
                C
Sweet love o' mine
 
 
[Instrumental]

  Bb     F     F     C     C    
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C
She's got eyes of 

The bluest skies

   Bb
As if they thought of rain
    F
I'd hate to look

 Into those eyes
    C
And see an ounce of pain
    C
Her hair reminds 

Me of a warm safe place
      Bb
Where as a child I'd hide
    F
And pray for the 

Thunder and rain
     C
To quietly pass me by
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G        Bb              C
Whoa oh, oh, sweet child o' mine

G              Bb                
Whoa, oh, oh, oh 

                C
Sweet love o' mine

[Chorus]
 
G               Bb              C
Whoa oh, sweet child o' mine

G               Bb              C
Whoa, oh, oh, oh sweet love o' mine

G               Bb              C
Whoa oh, oh, oh sweet child o' mine

G               Bb         C
Ooooooooh sweet love o' mine
