This is tabbed from the Xoa album. The pattern is pretty much the same throughout 
the song, changing a bit on the "oohs." On the CD recording she does a couple of 
things as tabbed below: 
  1. hammer on for the G and C/G chords 
  2. slide up from C/G to Dmaj7/A (it's the same finger placement)

G                   G 
When I think about dying

And when I think about children 
              G 
I think about you 
                       G 
And when I think about you 
          C/G        Dmaj7/A 
I feel like crying 
              G 
Crying for my youth 


                       G 
And when I think of my youth 
              C/G 
I think of my freedom 
                       Dmaj7/A 
And when I think of my freedom 
          G 
I feel so alone 
                G 
And when I feel lonely 
              C/G       Dmaj7/A 
I want you to hold me 
                G 
Hold me in your arms

Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh 
G    C/G 
Oooh oooh 

C/G                      G 
And when I think of your arms 
I think about sleeping 
Sleeping like a baby 
All through the night 
And then I think of the night 
And I feel like weeping 
Weeping for my life 

Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh 
Oooh oooh 

And when I think of my life 
I want to be with you 
Shoulder to shoulder 
When we’re waking up 
And we’re waking up 
And we’re one day older 
And we’re making love 

Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh 
Oooh oooh 
Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh 
Oooh oooh 

C/G              G 
And when we make love 
              C/G 
I think about children 
                  Dmaj7/A 
And I think about dying 
              G 
Lying in your arms 
                 G       C/G     Dmaj7/A 
You want to know why I’m crying 
Now you know 

Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh 
Oooh oooh 
Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh 
Oooh oooh (end on G)
