Hi Phill,
Thank you for your kind words about my rendition of "The Broken Doll". However I was not intending to put it in the Internet but to use it on the next CD I record or my family and friends. Anyway you already have it on your MySpace so the thought had not crossed my mind.
Mind you I do love this song. There is something magic about it, I do wish I could put my finger on exactly what it is.

Chorus:
[C]But she [D]fell so many [G]years a[Em]go, [D]
[C]Her pretty [D]leg was broke in [G]two, [D]

Verse 3:
[G]The china [D]doll stood out[Em]side my [D]reach,
[C]And so I [D]climbed upon a [G]chair,[D]

[G]I held the [D]broken leg in [Em]trembling [D]hands,

Bridge:
[Bm]Down my [Am]cheeks the tears were [Em]rolling,
[C]How I [D]feared my mothers [Em]wrath,
