Song For Sarajevo

Am G F  Am G F  Am G F  Am G F

[Verse 1]
Am       G       F        Am    
Blood in all the streets, 
  G      F
running like a flood
Am        G        F            
There's nowhere to hide, nowhere
      G
 that I can go
Am      G      F     Am       
I reach out my hand, touching 
G       F
death itself
Am     G    F            G
Just a holy day in Sarajevo


[Verse 2]
Am    G       F      Am       
I can hear my heart, pounding 
G      F
like a clock
Am     G        F               
Hiding from the planes and from 
    G
the bombing
Am   G        F    Am      G   
Fire from the sky, burning down my 
    F
life
Am       G       F               
There is no more love and no more 
 G
longing


[Chorus]
Am         G        C            
But when I close my eyes, I dream
 F          Am
 of peace
           Em             F      C
I dream of flowers on the hill
          G             Dm7
I dream I see my mother smiling
Am     G     F      G           
When I close my eyes I dream of 
C         F
peace

[Verse 3]
Am     G     F     Am      G  
Once I had a home, once my 
      F
life was good
Am      G      F                 
Once my mother sang to me and held 
  G
me
Am       G    F     Am      G 
Then the fire came, falling 
       F
from the sky
Am       G      F               
There is no one left who can 
     G
protect me


[Verse 4]
Am      G      F         Am    
War's a wicked bird that never 
G        F
comes to rest
Am      G      F                
Feeding on the dreams of all the
      G
 children
Am       G    F    Am     G    
War's an evil bird flying in the 
  F
dark
Am    G    F                   G
Every holy promise has been broken


[Chorus]
Am         G        C            
But when I close my eyes, I dream
 F          Am
 of peace
           Em             F      C
I dream of flowers on the hill
          G             Dm7
I dream I see my mother smiling
Am     G     F      G           
When I close my eyes I dream of 
C         F
peace


[Verse 5]
Am        G        F    Am      
Can't you stop the war, bring it
 G    F
 to a close
Am      G        F               
You are tall and strong and I am 
G
just a child
Am       G       F      Am      
Can't we live in peace, stop the
 G       F
 flowing blood
Am     G       F                 
Make a blessed world where I can be 
G
a child


[Chorus]
Am       G          C           
When you close your eyes, do you
          F
 dream of peace?
Am              Em             F
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
C                G               
Do you dream you see your mother 
Dm7
smiling?
Am       G          F   G      
When you close your eyes do you
          C
 dream of peace?


[Chorus]
Am       G          C           
When you close your eyes, do you
          F
 dream of peace?
Am              Em             F
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
C                G               
Do you dream you see your mother 
Dm7
smiling?
Am   G       F   G            C
Open up your eyes and give us peace
