Chords with lyrics

Intro: (SPOKEN)
 Chord diagramD#mD#m
More informatiomn has come to light about 3 year old
Syrian boy Alan Kurdi whose body was found recently washed
up on a beach in Turkey. Refugee advocates now say his
families ultimate goal was to reach asylum in Canada.


Verse:
    Chord diagramD#mD#m             Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
He was carried from the water by a soldier
    Chord diagramD#mD#m                  Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
And the picture screams a thousand different words
    Chord diagramD#mD#m               Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
He was running from the terror with his father
  Chord diagramD#mD#m                  Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
Who once believed that nothing could be worse
    Chord diagramD#mD#m                 Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
So he?d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
       Chord diagramD#mD#m             Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
The way you?d rest a bird in a lion?s open jaw
    Chord diagramD#mD#m             Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
And he told the boys that Canada was waiting

        Chord diagramBB           Chord diagramC#C#
That there was hope upon her golden shores
    Chord diagramBB                   Chord diagramC#C#
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind


  Chord diagramBB Chord diagramF#F#       Chord diagramC#C#   Chord diagramD#mD#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
 Chord diagramF#F#    Chord diagramBB       Chord diagramF#F#        Chord diagramC#C#
Won?t you open up your arms towards the sea?
Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramBB Chord diagramF#F#       Chord diagramC#C#   Chord diagramD#mD#m
Oh Canada, if you can help me out

All I ever wanted was a safe place for my fam-i-ly


Verse:
     Chord diagramD#mD#m                   Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
    Chord diagramD#mD#m                 Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
And the baby boys never left their mothers? side
    Chord diagramD#mD#m                    Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
      Chord diagramBB             Chord diagramC#C#
And they began to fear they?d not survive

    Chord diagramD#mD#m                  Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
So the father said ?We gotta hold each other tighter
    Chord diagramD#mD#m             Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
I?m not losing everything I love tonight
     Chord diagramD#mD#m                Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramG#G#
And we?ve come so far I know that out there somewhere
      Chord diagramBB                    Chord diagramC#C#
There?s a place where we won't have to fear for our lives?
      Chord diagramBB                 Chord diagramF#F#        Chord diagramC#C#
But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky
Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramBB Chord diagramF#F#       Chord diagramC#C#   Chord diagramD#mD#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
