Hymn For The Fallen

STRUM PATTERN:: Slow downward, simple quarter note on each chord, follow by about a full beat of rest. VERSE: G My ear Am Attends to you, Dm as a mother hears Am while her children sleep. BRIDGE: G Now look: Am See how they're dreaming?

Dm The black reciter reads Am while the children dream. G D Don't go Am So deep in slumber, Em Where you'll shy. Am C G Know you'll wander in sleep. G Am D Don't you fly too far away. BRIDGE 2: G Am Some men die C Em without crying-- Dm Am G Suffering so long and alone. C Em Am Softly, children, dry your eyes. C G Gently, children, be wise. VERSE 2: G My ear attends to you, Am as a mother hears Dm all her children's fears. G So don't cry; Am all will wash away G when we pray. Am Soon, soon, soon, soon, soon. Am C So if it's okay, I'll wait with you a while. G The sun begins to shine. BRIDGE 3: C Em Oh, look: Your wings are broken, Dm Am G But never a lie was spoken. C Am Em The murdered thing is love, you see-- Am G Drifting on a lake of memory. C Am C Now sleep. Close your eyes and have no fear; G A wide blue sky is very near. VERSE 3: G My ear Am Attends to you, Dm As a mother hears Am All her children's fears. RESOLUTION: G So don't cry; Dm All will wash away G
