[Verse 1]
DShe's got a smile that it seems to me
ReCminds me of childhood memories
Where eGverything
Was as fresh as a bright blue skDy
DNow and then when I see her face
She Ctakes me away to that special place
And if I Gstared too long
I'd probably break down and crDy
[Chorus]
AWhoa oh, sweet cChild o' mineD  
AWhoa, oh, oh, oh Csweet love o' Dmine
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
DShe's got eyes of the bluest skies
As Cif they thought of rain
I'd Ghate to look into those eyes
And Dsee an ounce of pain
Her Dhair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where Cas a child I'd hide
And Gpray for the thunder and rain
To quDietly pass me by
[Chorus]
AWhoa oh, Coh, sweet child Do' mine
AWhoa, oh, oh, oCh sweet love o' mDine

The story behind the song

"Sweet Child o' Mine" began during a jam session when Slash played a "circus" melody. Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan added chords and a bassline, while Steven Adler came up with a beat. Axl Rose, hearing the music upstairs, was inspired to write lyrics, which he completed the next day. This track was released on the band's debut studio album, Appetite for Destruction.
