We told our tales as we
Am                 Em  G
sat under mornin's sleepy
Am              Em G
sky

( Am Em G ) (2x)

Am                   Em G
With all the colours of the
Am              Em G
sunrise shining in our
Am              Em G
eyes

No thought of sleep ever
Am              Em   G
dwells upon the wise man's
Am              Em G
mind

( Am Em G ) (2x)

stealing every moment of his
Am              Em G
time

F                       Em   G
Thus we have learned to live while

die

( Am Em G ) (2x)

How can we do what must be
F            Em  G
done in just one short
Am          Em G

child, so full of love so full of
Am                         Em   G
