Dm  C  G  G
VERSE:
  DmWho might know the pCassage of a gGoddess?
WDmhat might make these mCortal lives awGare?
Well she miFght be the poet in the cCorner store
Or the cGatholic girl or the Fmaj7two bit whore
CHORUS:
Fmaj7When the children sing they know eCverything
But they dGon’t know the joy that your Fmaj7name may bring
And still they sCing
CAh ah ah ahhFhhh ahhh
Ah ah ah ahChhh ah
Ah ah ah ah Fah ahhhh
VERSE:
AFnd when the ship that saCils upon our Gocean
SDmets sail for the cCenter of our sGun
Well it jFust might make our mCornings that much brGighter
And her fFingertips of rose might lCight on everyoGne
But they wFon't touch the bums on the aCvenue
Or the kGiller on the corner but they mFmaj7ight touch you
CHORUS:
Fmaj7When the children sing they know eCverything
But they dGon’t know the joy that your Fmaj7name may bring
And still they sCing
CAh ah ah ahhFhhh ahhh
Ah ah ah ahChhh ah
Ah ah ah ah Fah ahhhh
VERSE:
AFnd if the wise men cCome to pay you hGomage
WDmhen the law comes knCocking on your dGoor
Well tFell them that you're sleeping
ThCinking very deeply
RGun away and hide in the Fmaj7chapel dawn
BREAK:
SmCile, like you smGiled for me
DaCnce, through the mGist with me
TCurn your head so you mGight not see the Fmaj7pain
Of a goddess alone in the rCainC  F  
CHORUS:
WFhen the children sing they kCnow everything
But they dGon’t know the joy that your Fmaj7name may bring
And still they sCing

Fmaj7

STILL THEY SING

RHETT MILLER

INTRO:

Dm C G G

VERSE:

Dm C G

Who might know the passage of a goddess?

Dm C G

What might make these mortal lives aware?

F C

Well she might be the poet in the corner store

G Fmaj7

Or the catholic girl or the two bit whore

CHORUS:

Fmaj7 C

When the children sing they know everything

G Fmaj7

But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring

And still they sing

C F

Ah ah ah ahhhhh ahhh

Ah ah ah ahhhh ah

Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh

VERSE:

F C G

And when the ship that sails upon our ocean

Dm C G

Sets sail for the center of our sun

F C G

Well it just might make our mornings that much brighter

F C G

And her fingertips of rose might light on everyone

F C

But they won't touch the bums on the avenue

G Fmaj7

Or the killer on the corner but they might touch you

CHORUS:

Fmaj7 C

When the children sing they know everything

G Fmaj7

But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring

And still they sing

C F

Ah ah ah ahhhhh ahhh

Ah ah ah ahhhh ah

Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh

VERSE:

F C G

And if the wise men come to pay you homage

Dm C G

When the law comes knocking on your door

Well tell them that you're sleeping

Thinking very deeply

G Fmaj7

Run away and hide in the chapel dawn

BREAK:

C G

Smile, like you smiled for me

C G

Dance, through the mist with me

C G Fmaj7

Turn your head so you might not see the pain

C C F

Of a goddess alone in the rain

CHORUS:

F C

When the children sing they know everything

G Fmaj7

But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring

And still they sing

OUTRO:

Still they sing

Still they sing - FADE OUT
