Chords with lyrics

[Chorus]

F#F#    E minorEm
Outside over there
F#F#         E minorEm
Where the war was raging
F#F#        E minorEm
Run little child far from home
  D MajorD     E minorEm     F#F#
the lord will take you with him


[Verse 1]

  F#F#        E minorEm
As mushrooms high as mountains
     D MajorD        F#F#
Came from neptunes submarines
  F#F#        E minorEm
A augmentedA little girl named Ida
      D MajorD        F#F#
Lived in a shack up by the sea
  F#F#      E minorEm
Her daddy was away at war
   D MajorD         F#F#
Her mother'd lost her mind
  F#F#     E minorEm      D MajorD  E minorEm  F#F#
So Ida in the arbour softly sang her lullaby
D MajorD               D MajorD         F#F#
To hush her baby sister and to calm her mother's shakes
  F#F#       E minorEm        D MajorD   E minorEm    F#F#
And by the waves a-crashing for her father she would wait

[Verse 2]

F#F#        E minorEm      D MajorD          F#F#
One evening Ida sang her songs soft as May breeze blows
    F#F#         E minorEm       D MajorD      F#F#
When a blinding flash of light came her eyes began to close
F#F#        E minorEm        D MajorD       F#F#
Devil's in their hooded cloaks through the window climbed
F#F#           E minorEm        D MajorD    E minorEm   F#F#
They took her sister from her crib and ran off into the night
D MajorD                    D MajorD      F#F#
When Ida looked to check the crib when finally she arose,
F#F#        E minorEm      D MajorD    E minorEm   F#F#
She saw a figure made of ice melting by the stove


[Chorus]

F#F#    E minorEm
Outside over there
F#F#         E minorEm
Where the war was raging
F#F#        E minorEm
Run little child far from home
  D MajorD     E minorEm     F#F#
the lord will take you with him

[Verse 3]

F#F#          E minorEm      D MajorD          F#F#
Ida put on her mother's coat and walked out to the cliffs,
   F#F#          E minorEm      D MajorD          F#F#
The sky was scarred with napalm the hills were drowned with mist
F#F#         E minorEm          D MajorD      F#F#
She buried a rose in the ground and started up the road
  F#F#       E minorEm        D MajorD   E minorEm    F#F#
To find her sister in the night and safely bring her home
      D MajorD                 D MajorD        F#F#
There were soldiers in the twilight, thieves drinking by the caves
     D MajorD          E minorEm           D MajorD    E minorEm     F#F#
She just listened out for her daddy's voice to come drifting across the waves


[Verse 4]

F#F#             E minorEm         D MajorD         F#F#
On the edge of Neptune's kingdom there was a forest and it was said,
   F#F#      E minorEm        D MajorD     F#F#
That any man that went in there was never seen again,
   F#F#       E minorEm        D MajorD           F#F#
But Ida clutched her mother's coat and pressed on through the trees,
   F#F#       E minorEm         D MajorD    E minorEm    F#F#
For in the ground she saw the tracks of wretched Devil's feet
D MajorD                  D MajorD        F#F#
The path ahead grew fainter as the branches tied in knots
  F#F#      E minorEm       D MajorD    E minorEm   F#F#
And Ida felt like every step she took was being watched


[Chorus]

F#F#    E minorEm
Outside over there
F#F#         E minorEm
Where the war was raging
F#F#        E minorEm
Run little child far from home
  D MajorD     E minorEm     F#F#
the lord will take you with him


[Verse 5]

F#F#           E minorEm     D MajorD       F#F#
There deep among the wild wood the girl began to tire
     F#F#      E minorEm       D MajorD        F#F#
When she came across a cabin windows flickered with a fire
   F#F#        E minorEm       D MajorD         F#F#
She knocked upon the wooden door an old man showed his face
F#F#           E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm    F#F#
With kind eyes like her father's and a beard long and grey
   D MajorD                        F#F#
She saw her sister sleeping near two angels wearing hoods
  F#F#           E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm    F#F#
She had some supper then slept a while to dream about the woods.

   F#F#          E minorEm          D MajorD         F#F#
After three days passed the mist had cleared the sky was clear and bright,
   F#F#           E minorEm   D MajorD       F#F#
She took her sister in her arms and bid the man goodbye
   F#F#          E minorEm      D MajorD        F#F#
She ran back through the forest saw no soldiers nor no thieves,
   F#F#          E minorEm      D MajorD   E minorEm   F#F#
Till she found herself back up at the shack by the sea
    D MajorD                        F#F#
But when she flung her arms around her mother she shed tears
    F#F#       E minorEm           D MajorD   E minorEm   F#F#
For the woman stood before her was blind and aged by thirty years
     F#F#       E minorEm    D MajorD      F#F#
She said "Oh my darling Ida, my wait is at an end,
     F#F#       E minorEm         D MajorD     E minorEm  F#F#
As this rose bush grew I prayed each day that we would meet again",
     D MajorD                      F#F#
So they sat out in the evening and the sun shone all around
   F#F#       E minorEm         D MajorD   E minorEm  F#F#
Till early the next morning when their bodies were found.


[Chorus]

F#F#    E minorEm
Outside over there
F#F#         E minorEm
Where the war was raging
F#F#        E minorEm
Run little child far from home
  D MajorD     E minorEm     F#F#
the lord will take you with him
