SWEET CHILD O’ MINE (5:54)
Performed and Written by Guns N’ Roses
From the Geffen album, Appetite for Destruction
Released 1987

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then, when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and cry

Chorus
O…O, O, Sweet Child O’ Mine
O…O, O, O, Sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I’d hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Chorus

(Guitar solo)

Ooo, O, O, Yeah Sweet Child O’ Mine
O, O, O, O Sweet love of mine
Ooo, O, O, O Sweet Child O’ Mine
Ooo, Ooo, Sweet love of mine

(Guitar solo)

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
O, Where do we go now?
Where do we go…Sweet Child?
Where do we go now?
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Where do we go now?

Where do we go?
OOO
Where do we go now?
O, Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooo, Where do we go now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Sweet Child
Sweet Child of mine
