Intro: G



I?ve [G]heard the sound of my dear old mama [C]crying

And the [D]sound of the train that took me off to [G]war

The [G]awful sound of a thousand bombs ex[C]ploding

And I [Am]wondered if I could take it any[C]more[D]



There were [G]times when they almost drove me [C]crazy

But I [D]did my best and took it like a [G]man

And [G]who would think in my lonely room I?d [C]hear it

The [D]one sound in the world my heart can?t [G]stand



[N.C.]To hear that sound and to [G]know its really [C]over

Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk a[D]way

And of [G]earthquakes storms and guns and war

Lord [C]nothing has ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound

The [D]closing of the [G]door



(Key change to G#)

And of [G#]earthquakes storms and guns and war

Lord [C#]nothing ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound

The [D#]closing of the [G#]door
