Song For Sarajevo Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 1st Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [F]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Blood in [G]all the [F]streets, [Am]running [G]like a [F]flood
[Am]There's no[G]where to [F]hide, nowhere that [G]I can go
[Am]I reach [G]out my [F]hand, [Am]touching [G]death it[F]self
[Am]Just a [G]holy [F]day in Saraje[G]vo

[VERSE 2]
[Am]I can [G]hear my [F]heart, [Am]pounding [G]like a [F]clock
[Am]Hiding [G]from the [F]planes and from the [G]bombing
[Am]Fire [G]from the [F]sky, [Am]burning [G]down my [F]life
[Am]There is [G]no more [F]love and no more [G]longing

[CHORUS]
[Am]But when I [G]close my [C]eyes, I dream [F]of peace [Am]
I dream of [Em]flowers on the [F]hill [C]
I dream I [G]see my mother [Dm7]smiling
[Am]When I [G]close [F]my eyes[G] I dream of [C]peace [F]

[VERSE 3]
[Am]Once I [G]had a [F]home, [Am]once my [G]life was [F]good
[Am]Once my [G]mother [F]sang to me and held [G]me
[Am]Then the [G]fire [F]came, [Am]falling [G]from the [F]sky
[Am]There is [G]no one [F]left who can protect [G]me

[VERSE 4]
[Am]War's a [G]wicked [F]bird that [Am]never [G]comes to [F]rest
[Am]Feeding [G]on the [F]dreams of all the child[G]ren
[Am]War's an [G]evil [F]bird [Am]flying [G]in the [F]dark
[Am]Every [G]holy [F]promise has been bro[G]ken

[CHORUS]
[Am]But when I [G]close my [C]eyes, I dream [F]of peace [Am]
I dream of [Em]flowers on the [F]hill [C]
I dream I [G]see my mother [Dm7]smiling
[Am]When I [G]close [F]my eyes[G] I dream of [C]peace [F]

[VERSE 5]
[Am]Can't you [G]stop the [F]war, [Am]bring it [G]to a [F]close
[Am]You are [G]tall and [F]strong and I am [G]just a child
[Am]Can't we [G]live in [F]peace, [Am]stop the [G]flowing [F]blood
[Am]Make a [G]blessed [F]world where I can [G]be a child

[CHORUS]
[Am]When you [G]close your [C]eyes, do you dream of [F]peace?
[Am]Do you dream of [Em]flowers on the [F]hill?
[C]Do you dream you [G]see your mother [Dm7]smiling?
[Am]When you [G]close your [F]eyes[G] do you dream of [C]peace?

[CHORUS]
[Am]When you [G]close your [C]eyes, do you dream of [F]peace?
[Am]Do you dream of [Em]flowers on the [F]hill?
[C]Do you dream you [G]see your mother [Dm7]smiling?
[Am]Open [G]up your [F]eyes[G] and give us [C]peace
