Sing [G] me a song said my [C] father one [G] night
As we [C] both sat in [G] front of the [D] fire.
[G] Sing me
of places where [C] I've never [G] been
[C] Sing me of [D] love and [G] desire,
I don't wish to hear about [C] trouble
and [G] war
Or [C] places where [G] battles were [D] lost
[G] Don't sing to me about [C] Flanders or [G] France
Or
[C] victories [D] won at great [G] cost.
Chorus
[D] Sing me of rivers and [G] forests of green
Where
[D] birds sing their songs to the [G] sky
[D] Sing me of love so un -[G]- selfish and [Em] warm
That will [C] last till
the day that I [D] die
That will [G] last till the [C] day that [D] I [G] die
I don't wish to hear about
Egypt or Rome
Or Empires long lost in the dust
I don't wish to hear about battles at sea
Or great ships now turning
to rust
Don't sing to me about rebels with guns
Or great flyers that fell from the sky
I've heard so many songs about
heros and death
There are too many ways you can die
[Repeat Chorus]
Sing me a song said my father one
night
As we both sat in front of the fire.
Sing me of places where I've never been
Sing me of love and desire
So
I sang of my mothere so warm and so kind
With a heart that's as warm as the sun
And I sang of the love that he never
would know
Like the love he would find here at home.
