Am C F Dm
You were born in KC Missouri
Am C F Dm
to a girl who wasn't married
Am C F Dm
after your birth she brought you to the nursery
Am C F Dm
kissed your head and told you not to worry
G    Am         Dm       F
and then quietly she turned and slipped away


Am C F D
in the elevator her heart began to pound
Am C F Dm
to the roof top in her slippers and her gown
Am C F Dm
on the edge she took one last look around
G            Am Dm F
then closed her eyes and pushed away

C        Am Em G
speeding toward the ground
C        Am Em
through the air without a sound
G
so gracefully

Am C F Dm
twelve flights down nearly naked on the ground
Am C F Dm
skin and tragedy always attract a crowd
Am C F Dm
and so it was when the policeman came around
Am C F Dm
he took more than fifty eyewitness accounts
G Em
each one in awe
Am Am/G F
for they'd never seen a girl
Dm G
so sad and beautiful
