Intro : [Am]x2


1st verse :
    Am                          Am
She came to me one morning, one lonely sunday morning
    G                        Am
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
  Am                               Am
I know not how she found me for in darkness I was walking
       G                             Am
And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win



Chorus :
Am               G   -       Am   -
Ah____ ahah__ ahahah___  ahahah 
Am  -       G   -      Am
Ah____ ahahah___  ahahah

2nd verse :
    Am                           Am
She asked me name my foe then, I said the need within some men
   G                                     Am
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God
      Am                           Am
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies
   G                         Am
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life


Chorus :
Am               G   -       Am   -
Ah____ ahah__ ahahah___  ahahah 
Am  -       G   -      Am
Ah____ ahahah___  ahahah 



3rd verse :
        Am                               Am
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals
   G                       Am
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
    Am                              Am
For she's the mother of our men who counseled me so wisely then
  G                                Am
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay


Chorus :
Am               G   -       Am   -
Ah____ ahah__ ahahah___  ahahah 
Am  -       G   -      Am
Ah____ ahahah___  ahahah 



4th verse :
    Am                               Am
Oh, lady lend your hand outright and let me rest here at your side
     G                                     Am
Have faith and trust in peace she said and filled my heart with life
      Am                             Am
There is no strength in numbers have no such misconception
    G                             Am
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away


Chorus :
Am               G   -       Am   -
Ah____ ahah__ ahahah___  ahahah 
Am  -       G   -      Am
Ah____ ahahah___  ahahah 


5th verse :
     Am                               Am
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
   G                                Am
I stood and watched until I saw her black coat disappear
   Am                     Am
My labor is no easier but now I know I m not alone
  G                                 Am
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
    Am                                Am
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise
     G                                  Am
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello from me


Chorus (x3):
Am               G   -       Am   -
Ah____ ahah__ ahahah___  ahahah 
Am  -       G   -      Am
Ah____ ahahah___  ahahah
