[Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]The little [F]girl she [C]said [G]to [C]me
What are these [F]things that [G]I c[F]an s[C]ee
Each night when [F]I come
[C]home [G]from [C]school
And mama [F]calls me [C]in [G]for [C]tea

[Verse 2]
Oh [C]every [F]night a baby [C]dies
And every [F]night a [G]mama [C]cries
What makes those [F]men do what they [C]do
To make that [F]person [G]black and blue
[C]

[Verse 3]
Grand[F]pa [G]says their [C]happy now
They sit with [F]God [G]in paradis[C]e
With [F]angels' wings [G]and still som[C]ehow
It makes me [F]feel [G]lik[Am]e ice

[Verse 4]
[C]Tell me there's a [F]heav[C]en
Tell me [Dm]that [C]it's [F]true
[G]Tell me there's [C]a reaso[G]n
Why I'm [F]seeing what [C]I do

[Verse 5]
[C]Tell me [G]there's a heav[F]en[C]
Where all those [Dm]people [C]go[F]
[G]Tell me they're [C]all happy [G]now
Papa [F]tell me that it's so

[Verse 6]
So do I [F]tell [Dm]her t[C]hat [G]it's t[C]rue
That there's a [F]place for [G]me [F]and [G]you
Where [C]hungry [Dm]children [C]smile and [G]say[C]
We [F]wouldn't have [Dm]no ot[C]he[G]r way[C]

[Verse 7]
That every [F]painful [G]crack of bones
[C]Is [F]a step [C]along [G]the way[C]
Every [F]wrong done [G]is a game [Am]plan
[Dm]To that great and jo[G]yful day
[C]

[Verse 8]
An[F]d I'm looking at
[G]the father [F]and [C]the son
And I'm [F]looking at the [G]mother
and the [F]daughter[C]
And I'm [Am]watching them
in tears of pain
And I'm watching them suffer

[Verse 9]
Don't [Am]tell that little girl
[Dm]Tell [Am]me[Dm][Am][G]
[C]Tell me there's [F]a h[C]eaven
Tell me [Dm]that [C]it's [F]true[G]
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm see[F]ing what [C]I do

[Verse 10]
[C]Tell me [G]there's a heav[F]en[C]
Where all those [Dm]people [C]go[F]
[G]Tell me they're [C]all happy [G]now
Papa tell [F]me that it's so
