Am*             Em*
Where have you wandered,

  Am*     Em*
My only child 

Am*         Em*         Am*  Em*
Why are you not coming back? 

Am*         Em*      Am*      Em*
Your mother is crying her eyes out 

   Am*        Em*
And I, in my dreams

           Am*   Em*
Hear your voice 

Am                   C       Am
   Father, will you take me away 

Am                  C            D           Am
   Father will you take and save me from my fate 

Am                   C       Am
   Father, will you take me away 

Am                  C            D           Am* Em* Am* Em* Am* Em* Am* Em*
   Father will you take and save me from my fate 

Am        Em
Wanted to go

          Am            Em
Look for you A hundred times 

   Am           Em         Am  Em
But I couldn’t leave her alone 

     Am         Em        Am     Em
The end of the world ruined our home

     Am       Em        Am  Em 
Yet didn’t destroy our hope 

E             Am
Acid rain is pouring down

G          Am
On the caravans of shadows

E                     Am
Once they used to be humans 

      G             Am
Dying of too much choice 

   E                 Am
Devoid of trust and empathy 

G             Am
They were passing each other 

E              Am
Now together, with raised hands 

    G               E         Am
In tears they call out at the sky 

Am                   C       Am
   Father, will you take me away 

Am                  C            D           Am
   Father will you take and save me from my fate 

Am                   C       Am
   Father, will you take me away 

Am                  C            D          
   Father will you take and save me from my...

     Am  G#m  G  F#m  F  E (5x)
... fate

Am                   C       Am
   Father, will you take me away 

Am                  C            D           Am
   Father will you take and save me from my fate 

Am                   C       Am
   Father, will you take me away 

Am                  C            D           Am* Em* Am* Em* Am
   Father will you take and save me from my fate
