G EmShe was born in the river land.
G D CBorn of her mother into her mothers hands.
G CShe was free as the river was wild.
G D CAnd she was so innocent, such a beautiful child.
G EmThen they took her away from Paradise.
C G DAhh where everything was beautiful and very nice.
G EmThey took her away from her mothers tongue.
C G D GThen slapped her around a little bit, to teach her another one.
G EmIn and out of ins-ti-tutions.
G D CWhat could they do with this child, where was the neat solution.
G EmThere was nothing they could do, so they gave her to the streets.
G D CAnd she joined all the rest of the hungry and the tired feet.
G EmThen they took her away from Paradise.
C G DAhh where everything was beautiful and very nice.
G EmThey took her away from her mothers tongue.
C G D GThen slapped her around a little bit, to teach her another one.
C G D D7And the Pondees they don't swim here any more.
G EmShe met a boy, who kind of knew.
G D CSome of the things that she was going through.
G CBut he was confused, so he ran away.
G D CShe found him again and here she is today, here in my heart.
G EmThen they took her away from Paradise.
