C The only girl I've ever G loved

6 6 5 6 7 6 5 5

C Was born with roses in her G eyes

6 6 5 6 7 6 5 5

C But then they buried her a-G

6 6 5 6 7 6 5

G -live One evening, D 1940...

3 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

C -five with just her D sister at her

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

G side. And only D weeks before the

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

C guns all came and D rained on every

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

G one. Now she's a D little boy in

1 5 5 5 5 5 5 6

C Spain. Playing pi-D-anos filled with

6 6 6 6 5 5 6

G flames on empty D rings around the

5 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

C sun. All sing to D say my dream has

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

G come.

G But now we must

1 3 2 1

C pick up every G piece of the

1' 7 6 5 5 3 2

C life we used to G love just to

1' 7 6 5 5 3 2

C keep ourselves at G least enough to carry

1' 7 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 6

D on

C And now we ride the circus G wheel

6 6 5 6 7 6 5 5

C With your dark brother wrapped in G white

6 6 5 6 7 6 5 5

C Says it was good to be a-G

6 6 5 6 7 6 5

G -live but now he D rides a comet's

3 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

C flame and won't be D coming back

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

G again. The Earth looks D better from a

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

C star that's right a-D-bove from where you

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

G are. He didn't D mean to make you

1 5 5 5 5 5 5 6

C cry with sparks that D ring and bullets

6 6 6 6 6 5 5 6

G fly. On empty D rings around your

3 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

C heart the world just D screams and falls

1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1

G apart

G But now we must

1 3 2 1

C pick up every G piece of the

1' 7 6 5 5 3 2

C life we used to G love just to

1' 7 6 5 5 3 2

C keep ourselves at G least enough to carry

D on.

D And here's where your C mother G sleeps and here is the

1 1 2 3 4 4 3 1 1 2 3

C room where your G brothers were D born. Indentions

4 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 1 2 3

C in the G sheets where their bodies once

4 4 3 1 1 2 3

C moved but don't G move any-D-more. And it's so

4 4 3 2 1 3 2 6 6 5

C sad to G see the C world a-G-gree that they'd

6 5 5 6 6 5 5 5 6

C rather see their G faces fill with D flies. All when I'd

6 5 5 3 3 4 3 2 1 2 3

C want to G keep white D roses in their G eyes
