Intro: D C A  (4x) 

verse 1: 
                    C                  D               A 
Down the hall their voices ring, their feet are on the run 
              C             D              E 
Phantoms on a winter sky, together they do come 
Am             D                     G              Cmaj7 
Faded lips and eyes of blue, they're carried in the wind 
      A                   C               D                  E 
Their laughter filled the countryside but they'll not laugh again 


INTERLUDE: D C A   D C A   


verse 2: 
                    C                D                A 
All their games are ended now, their voices have been stilled  
                        C               D                   E 
Their fathers built the tools of war by which they all were killed  
      Am               D                G                    Cmaj7 
Their mothers made the uniforms showing which side they were on  
        A                   C                  D             E 
And the young boys were the middle men for the guns to prey upon 


INTERLUDE: D C A   D C A   


verse 3: 
                      C                         D           A 
You've seen the fires in the night, watched the devil as he smiled  
                       C                   D                E 
You've heard a mothers mournful cry as she searches for her child  
       Am                D             G           Cmaj7 
You've seen the lines of refugees, the faces of despair  
    A               C            D             E 
And wondered at the wise men who never seem to care 


INTERLUDE: D C A   D C A   


verse 4: 
                 C             D                 A 
Goodbye you lost children, god speed you on your way  
                     C               D             E 
Your little beds are empty now, your toys are put away  
     Am             D              G            Cmaj7 
Your mother sings a lullaby as she gazes at the floor  
     A                  C           D                E 
Your father builds more weapons and marches out once more 


INTERLUDE: D C A   D C A   D C A 


VERSE 5: 
                    C                  D               A 
Down the hall their voices ring, their feet are on the run 
              C             D              E 
Phantoms on a winter sky, together they do come 
Am             D                     G              Cmaj7 
Faded lips and eyes of blue, they're carried in the wind 
      A                   C               D                  E 
Their laughter filled the countryside but they'll not laugh again
