[Verse 1]
Am Am She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning G Am Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind Am Am I know not how she found me for in darkness I was walking G Am And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win
[Chorus]
| Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah
| Am | % | % |
[Verse 2]
Am Am She asked me name my foe then, I said the need within some men G Am To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God Am Am And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies G Am So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
[Chorus]
| Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah
[Verse 3]
Am Am But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals G Am So easy to begin and yet impossible to end Am Am For she's the mother of our men who counselled me so wisely then G Am I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay
[Chorus]
| Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah
[Verse 4]
Am Am Oh, lady lend your hand outright and let me rest here at your side G Am Have faith and trust in peace she said and filled my heart with life Am Am There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconception G Am But when you need me be assured I won't be far away
[Chorus]
| Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah
[Verse 5]
Am Am Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say G Am I stood and watched until I saw her black coat disappear Am Am My labour is no easier but now I know I'm not alone G Am I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day Am Am And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise G Am Take courage from her as your prize and say hello from me
[Chorus]
| Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah
