| She | came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning, |
| G | Am | |
| her | long hair flowing in the | mid-winter wind. |
| Am | |
| I | know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, |
| G | Am | |
| and | destruction lay around me from a | fight I could not win. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
| Ahahaaah | aahah, | ahahaaa | haha | ha ! |
| Am | |
| She | asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men |
| G | |
| to | fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god. |
| Am | |
| And | I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, |
| G | Am | |
| so | eager was my passion to | devour this waste of life. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
| Ahahaaah | aahah, | ahahaaa | haha | ha ! |
| Am | |
| But | she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals, |
| G | |
| so | easy to begin and yet impossible to end. |
| Am | |
| For | she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that |
| G | Am | |
| I | feared to walk alone again and | asked if she would stay. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
| Ahahaaah | aahah, | ahahaaa | haha | ha ! |
| Am | |
| "Oh | lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side." |
| G | |
| "Have | faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life. |
| Am | |
| There | is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions. |
| G | Am | |
| But | when you need me be | assured I won't be far away. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
| Ahahaaah | aahah, | ahahaaa | haha | ha ! |
| Am | |
| Thus | having spoke she turned away |
| and though I found no words to say |
| G | |
| I | stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear. |
| Am | |
| My | labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone. |
| G | Am | |
| I | find new heart each time I | think upon that windy day. |
| Am | |
| And | if one day she comes to you drink deeply |
| from her words so wise. |
| G | Am | |
| Take | courage from her as your prize and | say hello for me. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
| Ahahaaah | aahah, | ahahaaa | haha | ha ! |
