Enola Gay Chords & Lyrics - Utah Phillips

[D]Look out, look out from your schoolroom window!
[D]Look up, young children, from your[A] play!
[D]Wave your hand at the shining airplane,
Such a beautiful [A]sight is Enola [D]Gay.

[D]It's many a mile, from the Utah desert
[D]To Tinian Island far [A]away,
[D]Standing guard, by the barb-wire fences
That hide the s[A]ecret of Enola [D]Gay.

[D]High above the clouds in the sunlit silence,
[D]So peaceful here, I'd like to [A]stay.
[D]There's many a pilot who'd swap his pension
For a chance to f[A]ly Enola [D]Gay.

[D]What is that sound high above my city?
[D]I rush outside and search the [A]sky.
[D]Now we are running to find the shelters,
Hearing sirens [A]start to [D]cry.

[D]What will I say when my children ask me,
[D]Where was I flying up on that [A]day?
[D]With trembling voice I gave the order
To the bombar[A]dier of Enola [D]Gay.

[D]Look out, look out from your schoolroom window;
[D]Look up, young children, from your[A] play.
[D]Your bright young eyes will turn to ashes
In the blinding l[A]ight of Enola [D]Gay.

[D]I turn to see the fireball rising.
[D]"My God, My God," all I can [A]say.
[D]I hear a voice within me crying,
"My mother's [A]name was Enola [D]Gay."

[D]Look out, look out from your schoolroom window;
[D]Look up, young children, from your [A]play.
[D]Oh, when you see the warplanes flying,
Each one is [A]named Enola [D]Gay.
