 Dear Melissa, I often think of you 
       Am                        C 
 Everytime I hold my baby in my arms 
F                         G 
 I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too 
              Am                              Em 
 I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone 
  F 
 Aahh 


 Am                  C 
 Suffer the little children 
         Am            C 
 At the hands of evil men 
    Am              C 
 No baby dolls, no teddy bears 
    Am              C 
 No lullabies for them 
 Dm 
 Every mother's nightmare 
  F 
 Will it ever end 
 Am                  F 
 Suffer the little children 
         Em           Am 
 At the hands of evil men

  Am                                           C 
 You who done the deed better do some prayin' too 
         Am                                  C 
 Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say 
F 
 Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list 
        G 
 Of the evils that men do 
                  Am 
 And your name's right up there 
             Em 
 I heard 'em say 
  F 
 Aahh 


 Am                  C 
 Suffer the little children 
         Am            C 
 At the hands of evil men 
    Am              C 
 No baby dolls, no teddy bears 
    Am              C 
 No lullabies for them 
 Dm 
 Every mother's nightmare 
  F 
 Will it ever end 
 Am                  F 
 Suffer the little children 
         Em           Am 
 At the hands of evil men 


 Am      C
