"In Any Tongue"
[Verse 1]
Cm
Home and done it's just begun
D# Fm
His heart weighs more, more than it ever did before
Cm
What has he done? God help my son
D# Fm
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up
Cm
No sugar is enough to bring sweetness to his cup
D# Fm Cm
I know sorrow tastes the same on any tongue
[Chorus 1]
Fm
How was I to feel it
Ab
When a gun was in my hands
C# Ab
And I'd waited for so long
Fm
How was I to see straight
Ab
In the dust and blinding sun
C# Ab D#
Just a pair of boots on the ground
[Verse 2]
Cm
On the screen the young men die
D# Fm
The children cry in the rubble of their lives
Cm
What has he done? God help my son
D# Fm
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up
Cm
The volume pumped right up is not enough to drown it out
D# Fm Cm
I hear "Mama" sounds the same in any tongue
[Verse 2]
Fm
How am I to see you
Ab
When my faith stands in the way
C# Ab
And the wailing is long done
Fm
How am I to know you
Ab
With a joystick in my hand
C# Ab D#
When the call to arms has come
