The Strum timing is important.
[Verse 1]
Am
SHE CAME TO ME ONE MORNING,
Am
ONE LONELY SUNDAY MORNING,
G
HER LONG HAIR FLOWING
Am
IN THE MID-WINTER WIND.
Am
I KNOW NOT HOW SHE FOUND ME,
Am
FOR IN DARKNESS I WAS WALKING,
G
AND DESTRUCTION LAY AROUND ME
Am
FROM A FIGHT I COULD NOT WIN.
Am G Am G Am
AHAHAA AHAAHAH, AHAHAA AHAHAHA
[Verse 2]
Am
SHE ASKED ME NAME MY ENEMY.
Am
I SAID THE NEED WITHIN SOME MEN
G
TO FIGHT AND KILL THEIR BROTHERS
Am
WITHOUT THOUGHT OF LOVE OR GOD.
Am
AND I BEGGED HER GIVE ME HORSES
Am
TO TRAMPLE DOWN MY ENEMIES,
G
SO EAGER WAS MY PASSION
Am
TO DEVOUR THIS WASTE OF LIFE.
Am G Am G Am
AHAHAA AHAAHAH, AHAHAA AHAHAHA
[Verse 3]
Am
BUT SHE WOULD NOT THINK OF BATTLE
Am
THAT REDUCES MEN TO ANIMALS,
G
SO EASY TO BEGIN AND YET
Am
IMPOSSIBLE TO END.
Am
FOR SHE THE MOTHER OF ALL MEN
Am
HAD COUNSELED ME SO WISELY THAT
G
I FEARED TO WALK ALONE AGAIN
Am
AND ASKED IF SHE WOULD STAY.
Am G Am G Am
AHAHAA AHAAHAH, AHAHAA AHAHAHA
[Verse 4]
Am
"OH LADY LEND YOUR HAND," I CRIED,
Am
"OH LET ME REST HERE AT YOUR SIDE."
G
"HAVE FAITH AND TRUST IN PEACE," SHE SAID
Am
AND FILLED MY HEART WITH LIFE.
Am
"THERE IS NO STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
Am
HAVE NO SUCH MISCONCEPTIONS.
G
BUT WHEN YOU NEED ME BE ASSURED
Am
I WON'T BE FAR AWAY."
Am G Am G Am
AHAHAA AHAAHAH, AHAHAA AHAHAHA
[Verse 5]
Am
THUS HAVING SPOKE SHE TURNED AWAY
Am
AND THOUGH I FOUND NO WORDS TO SAY
G
I STOOD AND WATCHED UNTIL I SAW
Am
HER BLACK CLOAK DISAPPEAR.
Am
MY LABOR IS NO EASIER,
Am
BUT NOW I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE.
G
I FIND NEW HEART EACH TIME I THINK
Am
UPON THAT WINDY DAY.
Am
AND IF ONE DAY SHE COMES TO YOU
Am
DRINK DEEPLY FROM HER WORDS SO WISE.
G
TAKE COURAGE FROM HER AS YOUR PRIZE
Am
AND SAY HELLO FOR ME.
