Verse: (1:35)

A augmentedA
So softly you’ll run
A augmentedA                 G+G
From the sound of your brother’s gun
G+G              A augmentedA
But you know it’s not just a game
A augmentedA
In the brambles you’ll hide
A augmentedA              G+G
Till the caretaker comes outside
G+G            A augmentedA
And everyone calls your name


Chorus: (2:17)

E minorEm
When you are young
      C majorC
There are battle plans and distant drums
E minorEm
When you are young
      C majorC
There is nothing right and nothing wrong
C# minorC#m
You will play in the maze
A augmentedA      G# minorG#m         C# minorC#m
Till your mother, she calls you away

Verse: (2:54)
A augmentedA
And we’ll scratch in the dirt
A augmentedA                G+G
Where the bones are picked clean by the birds
G+G            A augmentedA
And the clouds are out of reach
A augmentedA
And you’ll twist in his fist
A augmentedA           G+G
As Persephone blows a kiss
G+G              A augmentedA
And you hide yourself under the sheets


Chorus: (3:35)

E minorEm
When you are young
      C majorC
There are battle plans and distant drums
E minorEm
When you are young
      C majorC
There is nothing right and nothing wrong
C# minorC#m
You will play in the maze
A augmentedA      G# minorG#m         C# minorC#m
Till your mother, she calls you away
