FFound that man Ereported Ammissing, he Gwandered Cin his home It don't Fseem too bad if Eyou conAmsider Gjust what Che's been through
AmSeems he met up Emwith a Amgang of thieves Em AmWho mistook him Emfor a Amman of means Em
They Dmlocked him up, then Emfound he Fhad no money G#So they let him Cgo again
FNow he's back at Ehome and Amhappy Gjust to Csee the kids [Pre-Chorus] I Cmaj7wish, that I could reaFmaj7lly tell you Cmaj7
AEm7ll the things that happened Fmaj7to me Cmaj7 Or all that I have seen
A Fmaj7world full of Em7people, their Fmaj7hearts full of Cmaj7joy Fmaj7Cities of Em7light with Fmaj7no fear of Cmaj7war
And Fmaj7thousands of Em7creatures with Fmaj7happier Cmaj7lives And Fmaj7dreams of a Em7future with Fmaj7meaning and no Em7need to Chide
(n.c.) Oh, keep it dark |:C :|
It Fseems strange to Ehave to Amlie aGbout a Cworld so bright And Ftell instead a Emade-upAm story Gfrom the Cworld of night
I Cmaj7wish, that I could reaFmaj7lly tell you Cmaj7 AEm7ll the things that happened Fmaj7to me
Cmaj7 Or all that I have seen A Fmaj7world full of Em7people, their Fmaj7hearts full of Cmaj7joy
Fmaj7Cities of Em7light with Fmaj7no fear of Cmaj7war And Fmaj7thousands of Em7creatures with Fmaj7happier Cmaj7lives
And Fmaj7dreams of a Em7future with Fmaj7meaning and no Em7need to Fmaj7lie No Em7need to Fmaj7hate
NoEm7 need to Chide (n.c.) Oh, keep it dark
