To Bobby

         G               Em       
I'll put flowers at your feet and 
       G              Em
I will sing to you so sweet
            C                D    
And hope my words will carry home 
        G
to your heart
            G               Em    
You left us marching on the road 
            G             Em
and said how heavy was the load
               C                   
The years were young, the struggle 
D              G
barely had its start

[Estribillo]

       C
Do you hear the voices in the night,
 Bobby?
        Bm
They're crying for you
        C
See the children in the morning 
light, Bobby
        Bm
They're dying

[Segunda Parte]

             G               Em   
No one could say it like you said 
              G            Em
it, we'd only try and just forget it
          C              D        
You stood alone upon the mountain 
            G
till it was sinking
         G                  Em
And in a frenzy we tried to reach 
you
               G               
With looks and letters we would 
 Em
beseech you

      C                      D    
Never knowing what, where or how 
        G
you were thinking

[Estribillo]

       C
Do you hear the voices in the night,
 Bobby?
        Bm
They're crying for you
        C
See the children in the morning 
light, Bobby
        Bm
They're dying

[Tercera Parte]

            G               Em    
Perhaps the pictures in the Times 
          G               Em
could no longer be put in rhymes
             C               
When all the eyes of starving 
 D                 G
children are wide open
          G               Em      
You cast aside the cursed crown 
           G             Em
and put your magic into a sound
             C                    
That made me think your heart was 
D              G
aching or even broken

[Estribillo]

       Em           D          
But if God hears my complaint He 
       C
will forgive you
            Em          D      
And so will I, with all respect, 
              C
I'll just relive you
              Em            D     
And likewise, you must understand 
                C
these things we give you

[Cuarta Parte]

           G               Em     
Like these flowers at your door 
            G               Em
and scribbled notes about the war
           C                  D   
We're only saying the time is 
               G
short and there is work to do
                G              
And we're still marching in the 
 Em                  G            
streets with little victories and 
     Em
big defeats
             C                D   
But there is joy and there is hope
               G
 and there's a place for you

[Estribillo]

       C
Do you hear the voices in the night,
 Bobby?
        Bm
They're crying for you
        C
See the children in the morning 
light, Bobby
        Bm
They're dying
