Verse
I reDmember the promise
That you Bmmade in the barn
When the kitDtens were born
And you Bmcould not keep warm
So you moDved away the mountain
That the Bmsun rose behind
And you Dsaid yourself a prayer
And laid Bmdown with the blind
Chorus
But you Alost them in your freedom
And you Bmneed him now you're wild
ABlessed is the memory
Of eveBmrybody's child
D Bm D Bm
Verse
And the Dvow of compassion
That you Bmswore through your teeth
When the Dwar began to end
And the phoBmtographs weep
Well noDbody blames you
As the Bmtrain pulls away
With its carDgo of snow
For these BmGerman paper-weights
Chorus
But you Alost them in your freedom
And you Bmneed him now you're wild
ABlessed is the memory
Of eveBmrybody's child
D Bm D Bm
Verse
Well it's Dfive in the morning
There's Bmno one home
ExDcept for your wife
And your Bmchild on the phone
SomeboDdy's got to listen
To a proBmmise or two
Oh this Droom is far too small
For a pilBmgrim like you
Chorus
But you Alost them in your freedom
And you Bmneed him now you're wild
ABlessed is the memory
Of eveBmrybody's child
D Bm D Bm
Verse
So Dnow that you've decided
To Bmfollow the sun
Like a shaDdow of birds
Or a Bmking on the run
Oh your Dchains are too dark
For the Bmseas you must swim
You are smiDling at the seaweed
But your Bmsmile is too grim
Chorus
But you Alost them in your freedom
And you Dneed him now you're D(sus4)wild D
ABlessed is the memory
Of eveDrybody's child
ABlessed is the memory
Of eDverybody's D(sus4)child D
ABlessed is the memory
Of eveDrybody's child
