Judy Collins - Song For Sarajevo
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Am G F Am G F Am G F Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am G F Am G F
Blood in all the streets, running like a flood
Am G F G
There's nowhere to hide, nowhere that I can go
Am G F Am G F
I reach out my hand, touching death itself
Am G F G
Just a holy day in Sarajevo
[Verse 2]
Am G F Am G F
I can hear my heart, pounding like a clock
Am G F G
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Am G F Am G F
Fire from the sky, burning down my life
Am G F G
There is no more love and no more longing
[Chorus]
Am G C F Am
But when I close my eyes, I dream of peace
Em F C
I dream of flowers on the hill
G Dm7
I dream I see my mother smiling
Am G F G C F
When I close my eyes I dream of peace
[Verse 3]
Am G F Am G F
Once I had a home, once my life was good
Am G F G
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Am G F Am G F
Then the fire came, falling from the sky
Am G F G
There is no one left who can protect me
[Verse 4]
Am G F Am G F
War's a wicked bird that never comes to rest
Am G F G
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
Am G F Am G F
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Am G F G
Every holy promise has been broken
[Chorus]
Am G C F Am
But when I close my eyes, I dream of peace
Em F C
I dream of flowers on the hill
G Dm7
I dream I see my mother smiling
Am G F G C F
When I close my eyes I dream of peace
[Verse 5]
Am G F Am G F
Can't you stop the war, bring it to a close
Am G F G
You are tall and strong and I am just a child
Am G F Am G F
Can't we live in peace, stop the flowing blood
Am G F G
Make a blessed world where I can be a child
[Chorus]
Am G C F
When you close your eyes, do you dream of peace?
Am Em F
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
C G Dm7
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
Am G F G C
When you close your eyes do you dream of peace?
[Chorus]
Am G C F
When you close your eyes, do you dream of peace?
Am Em F
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
C G Dm7
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
Am G F G C
Open up your eyes and give us peace
