The Byrds 1966 (poem by Nazim Hikmet) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Byrds
  D        C        C A   D
[tab]           C        C A    D
but no one hears my silent prayer

  G         A            D
I knock and yet remain unseen,

    Em             C    D   Dsus4 D
for I am dead, for I am dead

    D    C     C A        D
I'm only seven although I died,

       C     C A   D
in Hiroshima long ago

    G     A            D
I'm seven now as I was then,

     Em                C      D   Dsus4 D
when children die they do not grow

   D        C             C A      D
My hair was scorched by a swirling flame,

             C       C A       D
my eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind

      G        A                  D
Death came and turned my bones to dust,

    Em                 C      D   Dsus4 D
and that was scattered by the wind

  D       C        C A     D
I need no fruit, I need no rice,

          C          C A  D
I need no sweets nor even bread

  G               C     D
I ask for nothing for myself,

    Em             C    D   Dsus4 D
for I am dead, for I am dead

D          C      C A      D
All that I ask is that for peace,

            C        C A     D
you fight today, you fight today

G           A                D
So that the children of this world,

    Em                C         D   Dsus4 D
may live and grow and laugh and play
