Am     C       G           Am
Gentle mother, strength of women
         F         G            Am
Help our daughters through this fray
           C         G        Am
Soothe the wrath and tame the fury
         F     G      Am
Teach us all a kinder way


[Verse 3]
       C       G       Am
Gentle mother, font of mercy
         F         G       Am
Save our sons from war, we pray
         C          G        Am
Stay the swords and stay the arrows
         F      G      Am
Let them know a better day


[Verse 4]
       C       G       Am
Gentle mother, font of mercy
         F         G       Am
Save our sons from war, we pray
         C          G        Am
Stay the swords and stay the arrows
         F      G      Am
Let them know a better day
