C          G               F         F           G          C
There was a child Named Bernadette, I heard the story long ago
C             G             F                 G            C
She saw the queen of heaven once and kept the vision in her soul
C7                             F     D                             G
No one believed what she had seen,  no one believed what she had heard
C                  G           F           Dm7    G             C
That there were sorrows to be healed and mercy, mercy in this world.


          F                         Am
So many hearts I find, Broke like yours and mine
F                   Dm7             G7
Torn by what we've done and can't undo.
C                G        F                   Am
I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you
F    G                C
Like Bernadette would do.

C             G                F         F    G             C
We've been around we fall, we fly. We mostly fall we mostly run.
C          G              F         F         G             C
And every now and then we try, to mend the damage that we've done.
C7                        F     D                            G
Tonight, tonight I cannot rest. I've got this joy here inside my breast.
C              G           F     Dm7              G         C
To think that I did not forget, that child, that song of Bernadette.


Repeat chorus

C               G        F              Am     F        G               C
I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you, like Bernadette would do.
