I Come And Stand At Every Door chords
The Byrds 1966 (poem by Nazim Hikmet)

 D MajorD    C majorC    C/AC/A  D MajorD
I come and stand at every door,
      C majorC    C/AC/A  D MajorD
but no one hears my silent prayer
 G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
I knock and yet remain unseen,
  E minorEm       C majorC  D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
for I am dead, for I am dead

  D MajorD  C majorC   C/AC/A    D MajorD
I'm only seven although I died,
    C majorC   C/AC/A  D MajorD
in Hiroshima long ago
  G+G   A augmentedA      D MajorD
I'm seven now as I was then,
   E minorEm        C majorC   D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
when children die they do not grow

  D MajorD    C majorC       C/AC/A   D MajorD
My hair was scorched by a swirling flame,
       C majorC    C/AC/A    D MajorD
my eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
   G+G    A augmentedA         D MajorD
Death came and turned my bones to dust,
  E minorEm         C majorC   D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
and that was scattered by the wind

 D MajorD    C majorC    C/AC/A   D MajorD
I need no fruit, I need no rice,
     C majorC     C/AC/A D MajorD
I need no sweets nor even bread
 G+G        C majorC   D MajorD
I ask for nothing for myself,
  E minorEm       C majorC  D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
for I am dead, for I am dead

D MajorD     C majorC   C/AC/A   D MajorD
All that I ask is that for peace,
      C majorC    C/AC/A   D MajorD
you fight today, you fight today
G+G      A augmentedA        D MajorD
So that the children of this world,
  E minorEm        C majorC     D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
may live and grow and laugh and play
