G F C
I've heard the sound of my dear old mama crying
D7 G D
And the sound of the train that took me off to war
G F C
The awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding
A Am D7
And I wondered if I could take it anymore
[Verse 2]
G F C
There were times when they almost drove me crazy
D7 G D
But I did my best and took it like a man
G F C
And who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it
D G
The one sound in the world my heart can't stand
[Chorus]
N.C. G Dm F C
To hear that sound [*] and to know it's really over
G D A D
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away
G
And of earthquakes, storms, and guns and war
C A G
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more than that lonely sound
D G G#
The closing of the door
G#
And of earthquakes, storms, and guns and war
C# A# G#
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more than that lonely sound
D# G#
The closing of the door
