INTRO   C               Fmaj7 (4 times)

VERSE 1         C           Fmaj7
        I got a letter from Louise
                      C                  Fmaj7
        she says that things are getting better
                    C           Fmaj7
        Theres more life on the streets
                  C              Fmaj7
        since the calling of the ceasefire
        C                Fmaj7
        People are going out more
        C                Fmaj7
        all the pubs are jumping
        C            Fmaj7
        Every one is trying
                   C               Fmaj7
        and theyre hopeful for the future

CHORUS          G               C
        And the guns are locked away now
               F                      G
        please God, I dont care whose God
          F                          G
        I hope theyre locked away forever
        C               Fmaj7
        C               Fmaj7

VERSE 2     C                 Fmaj7
        She says shes keeping busy
                   C                    Fmaj7
        and theres loads of things for doing
             C            Fmaj7
        Shes moved into a new house
            C                 Fmaj7
        and times just flying by
            C                  Fmaj7
        She says I should come up again
        C             Fmay7
        maybe for the weekend
            C                      Fmaj7
        she says theyre throwing a party
                C               Fmaj7
        that'll last beyond the dawn

        CHORUS

VERSE 3      C              Fmaj7
        Halloween is on the way she says
            C                Fmaj7
        she writes about the harvest moon
            C               Fmaj7
        She says it will be lucky
                 C          Fmaj7
        with its feeling of re-birth
                C           Fmaj7
        And i'm going up to see her
                C                    Fmaj7
        for the first time since the ceasefire
             C                    Fmaj7
        I'll pack my melodies and poetry
            C                 Fmaj7
        and place them in her arms

CHORUS
