Capo 4
This is the easy way to play this.
You can capo on 1 and play in the key of F?
D Bm7
Namesake to Elisabeth, her daddy's pride and joy
G
Baptized in her mama's tears soon after she was born
D Bm7
'Cause the doctor said she'd never live to see her sweet sixteen
G D G Em
It's a miracle she beat those odds and there's still no promise she will see tomorrow
B A G
It makes me wonder how life can give someone so much and take so much away
D Bm7 G
Oh, Elisabeth, you're a teacher you're a saint
A G

And I'm so glad you came to us
D Bm7 G
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
Bm A E7
With the kindness of your smile and your love
G D
And your beauty will live on and on, Elisabeth
She might not ever marry or hold a baby of her own
Things we all take for granted are the things she may never know
But she believes there's always hope and that's all she really has
So she walks through life with passion and with dignity and class
And when she cries, she cries in silence but never for herself
She cries for everybody else, for everybody else
