     Am
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,

     G                        Am
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.

   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.

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha

     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
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.

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha

         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
For she the mother of all men did counsel me so wisely that

   G                              Am
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha

     Am
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."

       G                                    Am
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.

       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.

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha

      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 cloak disappear.

    Am
My labor 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
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 for me.

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha

Am      G      Am     G   Am
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha
etc.
