I've heard the sound of my dear old mama crying
D G
And the sound of the train that took me off to war
G C
The awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding
Am C D
And I wondered if I could take it anymore
G C
There were times when they almost drove me crazy
D G
But I did my best and took it like a man
G C
And who would think in my lonely room Id hear it
D G
The one sound in the world my heart cant stand
N.C G C
To hear that sound and to know its really over
D
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away
G
And of earthquakes storms and guns and war
C G
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more than that lonely sound
D G
The closing of the door
G#
And of earthquakes storms and guns and war
C# G
Lord nothing ever hurt me more than that lonely sound
D# G#
The closing of the door
