Lyrics

Verse 1:
E f#m a e
Come here and look through the window marie
F#m a e
Open up the shutters,tell me what you see
G#m a e
Was that his knock that I heard at the door
F#m d e
Or is it six white horses coming down the road

Verse 2:
E f#m a e
Come here and touch me and say that it's alright
F#m a e
You know that to my eyes the days are as the nights
G#m a e
Read again the letter that tells me where he's gone
F#m d e
To hell with the fighting I want my son home

Verse 3:
E f#m a e
I taught him to fish and I taught him to be strong
F#m a e
I taught him that killing any man was wrong
G#m a e
But tommorrow in battle I'd run to where he stood
F#m d e
If the help of a blind man would do any good

Break (f#)

Verse 4:(a tone higher)
F# g#m b f#
Last night I went to his room for awhile
G#m b f#
I've touched all the things that he used as a child
A#m b f#
I rocked the cradle where he used to lay
G#m e f#
I found his tin soldiers and threw them away

Verse 5:(idem)
F# g#m b f#
Come here and look through the window marie
G#m b f#
Open up the shutters,tell me what you see
A#m b f#
Was that his knock that I heard at the door
G#m e f#
Or is it six white horses coming up the road

You can play g#m (and the others same way):
