I Come And Stand At Every Door
(N.Hikmet)

  
D          C/D            D               C/D             D  
I come and stand at every door but no one hears my silent prayer  
  G         A             D       Em            C    D  
I knock and yet remain unseen for I am dead for I am dead  
D        C/D              D  
I'm only seven although I died  
       C/D        D  
In Hiroshima long ago  
    G     A             D                  Em       C      D  
I'm seven now and I was then when children die they do not grow  
D           C/D                  D  
My hair was scorched by swirling fire  
             C/D              D  
My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind  
      G        A                  D  
Death came and turned my bones to dust  
    Em                 C      D  
And that was scattered by the wind  
D               C/D       D              C/D             D  
I need no fruit I need no rice I need no sweets nor even bread  
  G       A           D          Em            C      D  
I ask for nothing for myself for I am dead for I am dead  
D          C/D            D  
All that I ask for is for peace  
          C/D             D  
You fight today you fight today  
G            A              D  
So that the children of this world  
    Em                C         D  
May live and grow and laugh and play  

I can't get through this one without breaking up. If you can sing it, I think you'll find it's one of the more powerful anti-war songs ever made.
