[Verse 1]
G Em G Em I'll put flowers at your feet and I will sing to you so sweet C D G And hope my words will carry home to your heart G Em G Em You left us marching on the road and said how heavy was the load C D G The years were young, the struggle barely had its start
[Chorus]
C Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby? Bm They're crying for you C See the children in the morning light, Bobby Bm They're dying
[Verse 2]
G Em G Em No one could say it like you said it, we'd only try and just forget it C D G You stood alone upon the mountain till it was sinking G Em And in a frenzy we tried to reach you G Em With looks and letters we would beseech you C D G Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking
[Chorus]
C Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby? Bm They're crying for you C See the children in the morning light, Bobby Bm They're dying
[Verse 3]
G Em G Em Perhaps the pictures in the Times could no longer be put in rhymes C D G When all the eyes of starving children are wide open G Em G Em You cast aside the cursed crown and put your magic into a sound C D G That made me think your heart was aching or even broken
[Chorus]
Em D C But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you Em D C And so will I, with all respect, I'll just relive you Em D C And likewise, you must understand these things we give you
[Verse 4]
G Em G Em Like these flowers at your door and scribbled notes about the war C D G We're only saying the time is short and there is work to do G Em G Em And we're still marching in the streets with little victories and big defeats C D G But there is joy and there is hope and there's a place for you
[Chorus]
C Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby? Bm They're crying for you C See the children in the morning light, Bobby Bm They're dying
