E A
A long time ago / I turned to myself / And said,”you are my daughter”
E A
I saw that the image / I saw there was well, / “so you are my daughter”
B E
Well then maybe we’ve got / Something to talk about.
E A
Who told you so? / That gold burns slow / Like coal camper’s candles / All lost in the snow
E A E B
Lay down your arms / The war that I’m weaving / Is for you alone / Oh / Oh
E D
Up on the sun where it never rains or snows / There’s an ocean / With a wind that never blows
E
And if you see it closer / Then the finer points will show
B E A B E A
Not too much more / Too much more / Not too much more / Too much More
