E MajorE
My, my Kuiama, she came in the morning

Showed the pain that had been in that far-off place

So sad, treated so bad


🎸 Verse 2:

My, my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin'
  E MajorE
To say how your ma and your pa passed away

And they left you to wander the ruin and decay

Real mean, that bullet machine

🎸 Verse 3:
E MajorE
See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles
   E MajorE
Is a long, long way and you're here today
    E MajorE
And you won't go back so you might say

"Hello, how do you do "

E MajorE
Kuia, stop your cryin', there's no bombs a-fallin'
  E MajorE
No horsemen in the night a-ridin'

Through your dreams and tearing at your life
     E MajorE
Baby, goodnight

Beneath that big black sky

Wake up
Kuiama

For you
I must be true

🎸 Verse 6:

Kuia, in this country, they got rules with no reason

With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay

So cool, that no mercy tool

Kuia, please believe me
I just couldn't help myself

I made my stand

I just blew their heads open

And I heard them scream in their agony

True blue, you saw it through
