[Gm]Dad, what did you do in the [Eb]war?
Something to answer [Gm]for?
You say too young I [F]am to know
[Gm]Dad, I've heard you cry at [Eb]night
Mournful and desperate [Gm]blight
Where did you learn that [F]song you sing
[Gm] [D] [Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [D] [Eb] [F]
[Gm] [D] [Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [D] [Eb] [F]
[Cm]"War is in me! I [Eb]was the war!
And your [Gm]praying brings back the [F]suffering
No, [Cm]please, don't [Eb]start to [Gm]cry
[Cm]I only pray [Eb]you'll never know
The things I [Gm]see every time I [F]close my eyes
[Cm]Angels [Eb]still have [Gm]fac[F]es"
[Gm]What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
[Eb]Why can't you smile when the [Bb]children [F]sing
Did the [Gm]wages of [Eb]war cut your [Bb]soaring [F]wings
And your [Gm]soul is now [Eb]torn, unlike [Bb]mine
Do you [Cm]fear yester[Bb]day will in [Eb]someway
De[F]fine the life of your child?

[Gm]Dad, I know what you did in the [Eb]war
Deeds devils would [Gm]abhor
Did you filfil the [F]oath you swore?
[Gm]Dad, did you do it for [Eb]me?
Their blood for my life to [Gm]live
In the hollow with[F]out reprieve, without you
[Cm]"War is in me! I [Eb]am the war!
Don't you [Gm]force me to live the [F]nightmare again!
[Cm]Please, don't [Eb]make my [Gm]cry
My son, [Cm]you never ever [Eb]want to know
How when [Gm]guarding your sleep [F]serene I hear
The [Cm]silence [Eb]of the [Gm]children who [F]sang"
[Gm] [D] [Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [D] [Eb] [F]
[Gm]Far and be[D]yond the [Eb]stars there's
A [Bb]place where all the [Cm]love,
All the [D]goodness we could [Eb]have still re[F]sides
But we [Gm]choose life [D]away from the [Eb]light[Bb]
You can [Cm]find ghosts of [D]loss in the [Eb]gaze of your
[F]Beautiful child
