Verse 1:
     C majorC
Let them in, Peter
       G+G
For they are very tired
      A minorAm        G+G
Give them couches where the angels sleep
   FF
And light those fires.
     C majorC
Let them wake whole again
   G+G
To brand new dawns
A minorAm       G+G
Fired with the sun
   FF
Not wartimes bloody guns.
      C majorC
May their peace be deep
          G+G
Remember where the broken bodies lie
   A minorAm          G+G    FF
God knows how young they were to have to die
   C majorC              FF
God knows how young they were to have to die.

Verse 2:
        C majorC
So give them things they like
     G+G
Let them make some noise
 A minorAm             G+G
Give dance hall bands, not golden harps
   FF
To these our boys.
   C majorC
And let them love, Peter
        G+G
'Cause they've had no time
       A minorAm       G+G
They should have trees, and birdsongs,
   FF
And hills to climb.
   C majorC
The taste of summer
   G+G
In a ripened pear
   A minorAm        G+G
And girls as sweet as meadow winds
   FF
With flowing hair.
      C majorC
Tell them how they are missed
     G+G
But say not to fear
A minorAm         G+G    FF
It's gonna be all right with us down here


Outro:
     C majorC
Let them in, Peter
