Chords

[Intro] Bm [Verse]
           Em7      Asus4   D
The little girl she said to me

               Em7        Asus4   Dmaj7
What are these things that I can see

                Em7     Asus4    D
Each night when I come home from school

          Em7      Asus4  D
When mama calls me in for tea

         Em7     Asus4 D
Oh every night a baby dies

          Em7    Asus4 Dmaj7
And every night a mama cries

                 Em7    Asus4     Dmaj7
What makes those men do what they do

             Em7    Asus4     D
To make that person black and blue

        Gmaj7 A9         D
Grandpa says their happy now

              Gmaj7 A     D
They sit with God in paradise

             Gmaj7  A               D
With angels' wings and still somehow

            Gmaj7 G9  Bm
It makes me feel like ice
[Chorus]
D
Tell me there's a heaven

D                 Em7
Tell me that it's true

Asus4
Tell me there's a reason

        G             D
Why I'm seeing what I do

D
Tell me there's a heaven

D                      Em7
Where all those people go

Asus4
Tell me they're all happy now

     G                 D
Papa tell me that it's so
[Interlude] Bm [Verse]
        Em7      Asus4     D
So do I tell her that it's true

               Em7       Asus4  Dmaj7
That there's a place for me and you

             Em7      Asus4     D
Where hungry children smile and say

           Em7     Asus4  D
We wouldn't have no other way

           Em7     Asus4    Dmaj7
That every painful crack of bones

     Em7   Asus4     D
Is a step along the way

      Em7   G         Dmaj7 Bm7
Every wrong done is a game plan

        Em7      Asus4   D
To that great and joyful day

        Gmaj7          A9             D
And I'm looking at the father and the son

        Gmaj7          A9             D
And I'm looking at the mother and the daughter

        Bm
And I'm watching them in tears of pain

        Bm
And I'm watching them suffer

      Bm
Don't tell that little girl

     A9
Tell me
[Chorus]
D
Tell me there's a heaven

D
Tell me that it's true

Asus4
Tell me there's a reason

        G             D
Why I'm seeing what I do

D
Tell me there's a heaven

D                      Em7
Where all those people go

Asus4
Tell me they're all happy now

     G                 D
Papa tell me that it's so
