1. There's a moment in the mornings when the birds refuse to sing,
G -
G - D C
when the wind blows in its
cargo and
the eyes begin to sting.
G - G -
D C
And you can't see these Elysian Fields for the bodies on the ground,
G - G - D C
so you grope the dead for
souvenirs that
are lying all around.
C Am G
Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven !

2. I killed a little boy today,
I put a bayonet in his breast,
G - G

they said I was a hero and pinned a medal on my chest.
G - G -
D C
But I will not kill another, for now I know it to be wrong,
G - G - D C
that young man had a mother and for her I must be strong.
C Am G
So lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven !

3. In the morning they'll be waiting and
before the day is done
G - G - D C
I will make my peace with
Jesus, I
will walk toward the sun.

And they'll take me to the bloody war,
where the ones before me fell,
G - G - D C
and I'll go to meet my old
friends, yes, and my enemies
as well.
C Am G
So put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven !
