Judy Collins – Song For Sarajevo (Guitar)

Am       G       F        Am      G      F
Blood in all the streets, running like a flood

Am        G        F                  G
There's nowhere to hide, nowhere that I can go

Am      G      F     Am       G       F
I reach out my hand, touching death itself

Am     G    F            G
Just a holy day in Sarajevo

Am    G       F      Am       G      F
I can hear my heart, pounding like a clock

Am     G        F                   G
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing

Am   G        F    Am      G       F
Fire from the sky, burning down my life

Am       G       F                G
There is no more love and no more longing

Am         G        C             F          Am
But when I close my eyes, I dream of peace

           Em             F      C
I dream of flowers on the hill

          G             Dm7
I dream I see my mother smiling

Am     G     F      G           C         F
When I close my eyes I dream of peace

Am     G     F     Am      G        F
Once I had a home, once my life was good

Am      G      F                   G
Once my mother sang to me and held me

Am       G    F     Am      G        F
Then the fire came, falling from the sky

Am       G      F                    G
There is no one left who can protect me

Am      G      F         Am    G        F
War's a wicked bird that never comes to rest

Am      G      F                      G
Feeding on the dreams of all the children

Am       G    F    Am     G      F
War's an evil bird flying in the dark

Am    G    F                   G
Every holy promise has been broken

Am         G        C             F          Am
But when I close my eyes, I dream of peace

           Em             F      C
I dream of flowers on the hill

          G             Dm7
I dream I see my mother smiling

Am     G     F      G           C         F
When I close my eyes I dream of peace

Am        G        F    Am       G    F
Can't you stop the war, bring it to a close

Am      G        F               G
You are tall and strong and I am just a child

Am       G       F      Am       G       F
Can't we live in peace, stop the flowing blood

Am     G       F                 G
Make a blessed world where I can be a child

Am       G          C                     F
When you close your eyes, do you dream of peace?

Am              Em             F
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?

C                G               Dm7
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?

Am       G          F   G                C
When you close your eyes do you dream of peace?

Am       G          C                     F
When you close your eyes, do you dream of peace?

Am              Em             F
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?

C                G               Dm7
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?

Am   G       F   G            C
Open up your eyes and give us peace
