[Verse]
Am
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning
    G                        Am
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
Am
I know not how she found me, when in darkness I was walking
  G                                Am
Destruction lay around me from the fight I could not win

[Chorus]
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

[Verse]
Am
She asked me name my foe then, I said the need within some men
   G                                      Am
To fight and kill their brothers, without thought of man or god
Am
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies
   G                          Am
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life

[Chorus]
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

[Verse]
Am
She would not think of battle that reduces men to animals
   G                       Am
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
Am
For she, the mother of all men, who counselled me so wisely that
  G                              Am
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay

[Chorus]
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
                 G         Am
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          G      Am
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

"Oh, lady, lend your hand," I cried, "And let me rest here at your side"
      A                                     Bm
"Have faith and trust in me", she said, and filled my heart with life
 Bm
"There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconceptions
    A                               Bm
But when you need me, be assured, I won't be far away"

[Chorus]
                 A         Bm
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          A      Bm
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
                 A         Bm
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          A      Bm
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

      Em
Thus, having spoke, she turned away and though I found no words to say
  D                                 Em
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
Em
My labour is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone
  D                                 Em
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day

[Chorus]
                 D         Em
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          D      Em
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah
                 D         Em
Ahh ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah-ah
          D      Em
Ahh ah ah ahh ah ah

    Em
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning
    D                        Em
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
Em
And if one day she comes to you, drink deeply from her words so wise
     D                                  Em
Take courage from her as your prize and say, 'Hello' from me
