[Verse 1]
A C
When, when will the icicle melt, the icicle, icicle
A C
And when, when will the picture show end, the picture show, picture show
A C
I should not have read the paper today
A C
'Cause a child, child, child, child he was taken away
[Chorus]
C Am
There's a place for the baby that died
C Am
And there's a time for the mother who cried
C Am
And she will hold him in her arms sometimes
C Am N.C
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
[Instrumental]
A C A C
[Verse 2]
A C
How, how could you hurt a child, how could you hurt a child
A C
Now, does this make you satisfied, satisfied, satisfied
A C
I don't know what's happening to people today
A C
When a child, child, child, child he was taken away
[Chorus]
C Am
There's a place for the baby that died
C Am
And there's a time for the mother who cried
C Am
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
C Am N.C
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
[Instrumental]
A C A C
[Chorus]
C Am
There's a place for the baby that died
C Am
And there's a time for the mother who cried
C Am
And you will hold him in you arms sometime
C Am
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
Ends on A
When
When will the icicle melt,
And when
When will the picture show end
I should not have read the paper today
Cause a child, child he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that cried
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long
How could you hurt a child
Now does this make you satisfied
I don't know what's
happening to people today
When a child, he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in
her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And you will hold him in
your arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long
