[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am
She came to me one morning,
one lonely Sunday morning
G
Her long hair flowing,
Am
in the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me,
for in darkness I was walking
G
And destruction lay around me,
Am
from a fight I could not win
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah
[Verse]
Am
She asked me name my foe then,
I said the need within some men
G
To fight and kill their brothers,
Am
without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses,
to trample down my enemies
G
So eager was my passion,
Am
to devour this waste of life
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah
[Verse]
Am
But she wouldn't think of battle that,
reduces men to animals
G
So easy to begin,
Am
and yet impossible to end
For she s the mother of our men,
who counseled me so wisely then
G
I feared to walk alone again,
Am
and asked if she would stay
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah
[Verse]
Am
Oh, lady lend your hand outright,
and let me rest here at your side
G
Have faith and trust in peace she said,
Am
and filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers,
have no such misconception
G
But when you need me,
Am
be assured I won't be far away
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah
[Verse]
Am
Thus having spoke she turned away,
and though I found no words to say
G
I stood and watched until I saw,
Am
her black coat disappear
My labor is no easier,
but now I know I m not alone
G
I find new heart each time,
Am
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you,
drink deeply from her words so wise
G
Take courage from her as your prize,
Am
and say hello from me
[Chorus] 9x
Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah
