Intro 2x: D4  D  D9  D  

G              D 
I stand out of sight 
     Em           Bm            C 
And watch as the light from the sun 
       D            G          D 
Shines through her hair 

     G          D 
From yonder she came 
  Em             Bm 
I don't know her name 
        C         D          G     G7 
Still I love that girl on a swing 


          C            D 
Girl on a swing, swing high 
          Bm           Em 
Girl on a swing, swing low 
             C            D                G     G7 
Take all the hate from the world that we're in. 
          C            D 
Girl on a swing, swing high 
          Bm           Em 
Girl on a swing, swing low 
            C            D                G     G7 
And you can cast all your troubles to the wind 


    C               Bm 
She comes with the light 
     Dm             C 
Then goes with the night 
Cm            Bm 
My heart just yearns 
    Am 
But then comes the dawn 
Bb      Eb 
And she returns
