[Verse 1]
C            Am
I was walking in a town
G                F         G
On the waterfront I saw a building
C            Am
I went inside into the darkness
G                         F     G
Into the coolness of the airconditioning
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha

[Verse 2]
C                     Am
There were photographs of children
G               F            G
They were in a war and they killed them
C             Am               G                  F          G
I was feeling, feeling smaller, smaller than the coin in my hand
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha  
 C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha  

[Chorus]
C
Mourir avant 15 ans - To die before you're 15 years
Am
I turned away to hide the tears
Em
How could I understand
       Em              F        G       C
That a man can kill a man, can kill a child
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha   
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha

[Verse 3]
C              Am
I went outside into the sunlight
G                        F    G
Children playing on the riverside
C               Am
They were happy and it was peaceful
G                     F        G              C     D7  C    D7
I went back to my hotel and I watched the seagulls fly  ...

[Chorus]
C
Mourir avant 15 ans - To die before you're 15 years
Am
I turned away to hide the tears
Em
How could I understand
       Em              F        G       C
That a man can kill a man, can kill a child
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha
C      D7
a-ha.. a-ha

[Post-Chorus]
C     Am            G        Am
I was watching the seagulls fly
F     G            C
Down Saint Jean street

[Outro]
C                          D7
To the Saint Lawrence River
C                      D7
To the wide open spaces
