Electric Light Orchestra - Kuiama

^EMy, my Kuiama, she came in the morning She ^Esmiled but the tears on her little face Showed the ^Epain that had been in that far-off place So ^F#msad,^A treated so ^Ebad

^EMy, my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin' To ^Esay how your ma and your pa passed away And they ^Eleft you to wander the ruin and decay Real ^F#mmean,^A that bullet mach^Eine

^ESee here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles Is a ^Elong, long way and you're here today And you ^Ewon't go back so you might say "He^F#mllo,^A how do you d^Eo?"

^EKuia, stop your cryin', there's no bombs a-fallin' No ^Ehorsemen in the night a-ridin' ^EThrough your dreams and tearing at your ^F#mlife ^A Baby, good^Enight

^C#mNo more silver rain will ^Bhit your ground And no more ^G#guns will sound No more ^Alife be drowned ^C#mNo more trenches where the s^Boldiers lie And no more ^G#people die Beneath that ^Abig black sky

^EWake up, Kuiama, I got somethin' to tell you It's ^Ejust that I mean, well, that is to say That I'm ^Etrying to explain but I'll start again For ^F#myou,^A I must be ^Etrue

^EKuia, in this country, they got rules with no reason They ^Eteach you to kill and they send you away With your ^Egun in your hand, you pick up your pay So ^F#mcool,^A that no mercy ^Etool

^EKuia, please believe me, I just couldn't help myself I ^Ewanted to run but they gave me a gun And they ^Etold me the duty I owed to my father^F#mland ^A I made my ^Estand

^EKuia, I just shot them, I just blew their heads open And I ^Eheard them scream in their agony Kui^Eama, she waits there for me ^F#mTrue blue^A, you saw it ^Ethrough
