[Verse 1]
I remDember the promise
That you mBmade in the barn
When the kiDttens were born
And you cBmould not keep warm
So you mDoved away the mountain
That the Bmsun rose behind
And you sDaid yourself a prayer
And laid dBmown with the blind
[Chorus]
But you lAost them in your freedom
And you nBmeed him now, you're wild
BlAessed is the memory
Of eveBmrybody's child
[Interlude]
|: D Bm D Bm |
[Verse 2]
And the vDow of compassion
That you sBmwore through your teeth
When the wDar began to end
And the phoBmtographs weep
Well, noDbody blames you
As the tBmrain pulls away
With its caDrgo of snow
For these GBmerman paper-weights
[Chorus]
But you lAost them in your freedom
And you nBmeed him now, you're wild
BlAessed is the memory
Of evBmerybody's child
[Interlude]
|: D Bm D Bm |
[Verse 3]
Well, it's fDive in the morning
There's Bmno one home
ExcDept for your wife
And your cBmhild on the phone
SomebDody's got to listen
To a prBmomise or two
Oh, this rDoom is far too small
For a piBmlgrim like you
[Chorus]
But you lAost them in your freedom
And you nBmeed him now, you're wild
BlAessed is the memory
Of evBmerybody's child
[Interlude]
|: D Bm D Bm |
[Verse 4]
So, nDow that you've decided
To fBmollow the sun
Like a shDadow of birds
Or a kBming on the run
Oh, your chDains are too dark
For the sBmeas you must swim
You are smDiling at the seaweed
But your sBmmile is too grim
[Chorus]
But you lAost them in your freedom
And you nDeed him now, you're Dsus4wild D
BlAessed is the memory
Of evDerybody's child
BlAessed is the memory
Of evDerybody's cDsus4hild D
BlAessed is the memory
Of evDerybody's child
