Key: G Instrumental: C D C Em C G C Em Am C D Bm Verse 1: Em C Am Bm I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier Em G D Bm Gone to war in some strange country far away Em Am No word had come to her Bm Em But the rumors of great battles fought G D Bm Em Men dying in their thousands and a world full of fear G D Am Em As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle G D Am D And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen Em G D Em As she placed it in the window softly without thinking C G D She said let this burning candle be a beacon
Chorus: Em C Bm Let joy and innocence prevail C D G Let joy and innocence prevail Em C Bm Believe that love will never fail C D Em Let joy and innocence prevail Spoken verse: C Em And one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husband fall C D Bm In a great white cavalry charge Em C Em And waking in tears, she saw the candle burning in the window Em She still had hope Am C And through the window, a man in the distance D Bm But has he came closer, she saw he was a stranger Verse 2: Em C Am Bm The stranger said I bring a message from a general Em G D Bm A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread Em Am Bm Em He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him G D Bm Em But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid G D Am Em And she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearless G D Am D A captain and a husband I have gained this bright new day Em G D Em And she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside him C G D And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her Chorus: Em C Bm Let joy and innocence prevail C D G Let joy and innocence prevail Em C Bm Believe that love will never fail C D G Let joy and innocence prevail Em C Bm Let joy and innocence prevail C D G Let joy and innocence prevail Em C Bm Believe that love will never fail C D G Let joy and innocence prevail C D G Let joy and innocence prevail
