[Intro] Am [Verse]
Am
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning

    G                        Am
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind

Am
I know not how she found me, when in darkness I was walking

  G                                Am
Destruction lay around me from the fight I could not win
[Chorus]
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
[Verse]
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 man or god

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]
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
[Verse]
Am
She would not think of battle that reduces men to animals

   G                       Am
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end

Am
For she, the mother of all men, who counselled me so wisely that

  G                              Am
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay
[Chorus]
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
[Instrumental] Am Bm [Verse]
 Bm
"Oh, lady, lend your hand," I cried, "And let me rest here at your side"

      A                                     Bm
"Have faith and trust in me", she said, and filled my heart with life

 Bm
"There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconceptions

    A                               Bm
But when you need me, be assured, I won't be far away"
[Chorus]
                 A         Bm
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          A      Bm
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

                 A         Bm
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          A      Bm
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
[Verse]
      Em
Thus, having spoke, she turned away and though I found no words to say

  D                                 Em
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear

Em
My labour is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone

  D                                 Em
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
[Chorus]
                 D         Em
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          D      Em
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

                 D         Em
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah

          D      Em
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
[Instrumental] Am Bm [Verse]
    Em
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning

    D                        Em
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind

Em
And if one day she comes to you, drink deeply from her words so wise

     D                                  Em
Take courage from her as your prize and say, 'Hello' from me
