Song For Sarajevo Chords by Judy Collins

[A#m] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ _ [A#m] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ _
[A#m] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ _ [A#m] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ _
[A#m] Blood in all the streets, running like a flood
There's nowhere [F#] to hide, nowhere [G#] that I can go
[A#m] I reach out [F#] my [A#m] hand, touching death itself
Just a [F#] holy day [G#] in [A#m] Sarajevo
I can [F#] hear my [A#m] heart, pounding like a clock
Hiding from the planes and from [G#] the bombing
_ [A#m] [G#] Fire [C#] from the sky, burning down my life
There is [F#] no more love [A#] and no more longing
[G#] _ _ [A#m] But when [G#] I [C#] close my eyes, I [F#] dream of peace
[A#m] I dream [Fm] of flowers [F#] on the [G#] hill
I dream I [A#m] see my mother [G#] smiling
[F#] _ When I close my [G#] eyes, I [D#m] dream [C#] of peace _ _
_ Once [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#m] _ [G#] [F#] I had a [A#m] home, once my life was good
Once my mother sang to [G#] me and held [D#] me _
[A#m] [G#] Then the [F#] fire [A#m] came, falling from the sky
There is [F#] no one left who [G#] can protect me _
[A#m] War's a wicked [F#] bird [A#m] that never comes to rest
Feeding on the dreams of [G#] all the children _ _
[A#m] [G#] War's an [C#] evil bird, flying in the dark
Every holy promise has [G#] been broken
But [C] when [G#] I close [C#] my _ eyes, I [F#] dream of peace
[A#m] I [C#] dream of flowers [F#] on the [G#] _ [C#] hill
I dream I [D#m] see my mother smiling
When [G#] I [F#] close my [G#] eyes, I [C#] dream of peace _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#m] Can't you stop the war, or bring it to a close?
You are [F#] tall and strong, [D#] and I am [G#] just a child
[A#m] Can't we live in peace, stop the flowing blood
[G#] Make a blessed [C#] world where I [G#] can be a [F#] child
When you [C#] close your _ _ eyes, do you [F#] dream of _ peace?
[A#m] Do you [C#] dream [F#] flowers on the [G#] hill?
[C#] Do you dream you see your [D#m] mother smiling?
_ [F#] When [G#] you [F#] close your eyes, [D#m] do you dream [C#] of _ peace?
[D#m]
When you [G#] close [C#] your eyes, do you dream [F#] of peace?
[A#m] Do you dream [C#] flowers [F#] on [G#] the [F#] [C#] hill?
Do you dream you see [D#m] your mother smiling?
_ [G#] Open up [F#] your eyes, and give [C#] us peace _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
