Verse 1 - 0:30
D She's got a smile that it seems to me C Reminds me of childhood memories G Where everything D Was as fresh as a bright blue sky D Now and then when I see her face C She takes me away to that special place G And if I stared to long D I'd probably break down and cry
Chorus 1 - 01:01
C G D Whoa Oh, Sweet child o' mine C G D Whoa, Oh, Oh, Oh Sweet love o' mine
Break 1 - 1:17

Verse 2 - 1:32
D She's got eyes of the bluest skies C As if they thought of rain G G I hate to look into those eyes D And see an ounce of pain D Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place C Where as a child I'd hide G And pray for the thunder And the rain D To quietly pass me by
Chorus 2 - 2:03
C G D Whoa Oh, Sweet child o' mine C G D Whoa, Oh, Oh, Oh Sweet love o' mine C G D Whoa Oh, Oh, Oh Sweet child o' mine C G D Ooooooooh Sweet love o' mine

Notes
The original song is in D, with tuning D# G# C# F# A# D#
. This tuning is a semitone below the usual tuning, so the actual key is Db. If you want to be able to play along with the original song, you either have to tune your guitar a semitone lower, use a capo on XI, or transpose all chords in this song half a tone down (e.g., D becomes Db).
