ADown the hall their Cvoices ring, their Dfeet are on the Arun _ A _
APhantoms on a Cwinter sky, toDgether they do Ecome _ E _
AmFaded lips and Deyes of blue, they're Gcarried in the Cmaj7 _ Cmaj7 _wind
Their Alaughter filled the Ccountryside but Dthey'll not laugh aEgain _ E _
|D C A_ |D C A_ |A_ _ _ |
AAll their games are Cended now, their Dvoices have been Astilled _ A _
Their Afathers built the Ctools of war by Dwhich they all were Ekilled _ E _
Their Ammothers made the Duniforms showing Gwhich side they were Cmaj7 _ Cmaj7 _on
And the Ayoung boys were the Cmiddle men for the Dguns to prey uEpon _ E _
|D C A_ |D C A_ |A_ _ _ |
AYou've seen the fires Cin the night, watched the Ddevil as he Asmiled _ A _
You've Aheard a mothers Cmournful cry as she Dsearches for her Echild _ E _
You've Amseen the lines of Drefugees, the Gfaces of desCmaj7 _ Cmaj7 _pair
And Awondered at the Cwise men who Dnever seem to Ecare _ E _
|D C A_ |D C A_ |
AGoodbye you lost Cchildren, god Dspeed you on your Away _ A _
Your Alittle beds are Cempty now, your Dtoys are put aEway _ E _
Your Ammother sings a Dlullaby as she Ggazes at the Cmaj7 _ Cmaj7 _floor
Your Afather builds more Cweapons and Dmarches out once Emore _ E _

AmFaded lips and Deyes of blue, they're Gcarried in the Cmaj7 _ Cmaj7 _wind
Their Alaughter filled the Ccountryside but Dthey'll not laugh aEgain _ E _
