Gordon Lightfoot – The Lost Children (Guitar)

                    C                  D               A
Down the hall their voices ring, their feet are on the run

              C             D              E
Phantoms on a winter sky, together they do come

Am             D                     G              Cmaj7
Faded lips and eyes of blue, they're carried in the wind

      A                   C               D                  E
Their laughter filled the countryside but they'll not laugh again

                    C                D                A
All their games are ended now, their voices have been stilled 

                        C               D                   E
Their fathers built the tools of war by which they all were killed 

      Am               D                G                    Cmaj7
Their mothers made the uniforms showing which side they were on 

        A                   C                  D             E
And the young boys were the middle men for the guns to prey upon

                      C                         D           A
You've seen the fires in the night, watched the devil as he smiled 

                       C                   D                E
You've heard a mothers mournful cry as she searches for her child 

       Am                D             G           Cmaj7
You've seen the lines of refugees, the faces of despair 

    A               C            D             E
And wondered at the wise men who never seem to care

                 C             D                 A
Goodbye you lost children, god speed you on your way 

                     C               D             E
Your little beds are empty now, your toys are put away 

     Am             D              G            Cmaj7
Your mother sings a lullaby as she gazes at the floor 

     A                  C           D                E
Your father builds more weapons and marches out once more

                    C                  D               A
Down the hall their voices ring, their feet are on the run

              C             D              E
Phantoms on a winter sky, together they do come

Am             D                     G              Cmaj7
Faded lips and eyes of blue, they're carried in the wind

      A                   C               D                  E
Their laughter filled the countryside but they'll not laugh again
