Chords with lyrics
D MajorD
Look out, look out from your schoolroom window!
D MajorD A augmentedA
Look up, young children, from your play!
D MajorD A augmentedA
Wave your hand at the shining airplane,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Such a beautiful sight is Enola Gay.
D MajorD
High above the clouds in the sunlit silence,
D MajorD A augmentedA
So peaceful here, I'd like to stay.
D MajorD A augmentedA
There's many a pilot who'd swap his pension
A augmentedA D MajorD
For a chance to fly Enola Gay.
D MajorD
What is that sound high above my city?
D MajorD A augmentedA
I rush outside and search the sky.
D MajorD A augmentedA
Now we are running to find the shelters,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Hearing sirens start to cry.
D MajorD
What will I say when my children ask me,
D MajorD A augmentedA
Where was I flying up on that day?
D MajorD A augmentedA
With trembling voice I gave the order
A augmentedA D MajorD
To the bombardier of Enola Gay.
D MajorD
Look out, look out from your schoolroom window;
D MajorD A augmentedA
Look up, young children, from your play.
D MajorD A augmentedA
Your bright young eyes will turn to ashes
A augmentedA D MajorD
In the blinding light of Enola Gay.
D MajorD
I turn to see the fireball rising.
D MajorD A augmentedA
"My God, My God," all I can say.
D MajorD A augmentedA
I hear a voice within me crying,
A augmentedA D MajorD
"My mother's name was Enola Gay."
D MajorD
Look out, look out from your schoolroom window;
D MajorD A augmentedA
Look up, young children, from your play.
D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh, when you see the warplanes flying,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Each one is named Enola Gay.
