[Intro]
Fm


[Verse]
    Fm
She came to me one morning,

one lonely Sunday morning
    D#
Her long hair flowing,
       Fm
in the midwinter wind

I know not how she found me,

for in darkness I was walking
      D#
And destruction lay around me,
       Fm
from a fight I could not win


[Chorus]
Fm  D#  Fm  D#  Fm
Ah ah ah ah ah
Fm  D#  Fm
Ah ah ah


[Verse]
    Fm
She asked me name my foe then,

I said the need within some men
   D#
To fight and kill their brothers,
        Fm
without thought of love or God

And I begged her give me horses,

to trample down my enemies
   D#
So eager was my passion,
     Fm
to devour this waste of life


[Chorus]
Fm   D#  Fm  D#  Fm
Ah   ah ah  ah ah

Ah   ah ah


[Verse]
        Fm
But she wouldn't think of battle that,

reduces men to animals
   D#
So easy to begin,
          Fm
and yet impossible to end

For she s the mother of our men,

who counseled me so wisely then
  D#
I feared to walk alone again,
    Fm
and asked if she would stay


[Chorus]
Fm   D#  Fm  D#  Fm
Ah   ah ah  ah ah

Ah   ah ah


[Verse]
    Fm
Oh, lady lend your hand outright,

and let me rest here at your side
     D#
Have faith and trust in peace she said,
    Fm
and filled my heart with life

There is no strength in numbers,

have no such misconception
    D#
But when you need me,
             Fm
be assured I won't be far away


[Chorus]
Fm   D#  Fm  D#  Fm
Ah   ah ah  ah ah

Ah   ah ah


[Verse]
     Fm
Thus having spoke she turned away,

and though I found no words to say
  D#
I stood and watched until I saw,
    Fm
her black coat disappear

My labor is no easier,

but now I know I m not alone
  D#
I find new heart each time,
         Fm
I think upon that windy day

And if one day she comes to you,

drink deeply from her words so wise
     D#
Take courage from her as your prize,
    Fm
and say hello from me


[Chorus] 9x
