Voice In Ramah

Am C When I was a boy in the Great War Am C I walked all around in the dark Am C But you were the light in a father’s eyes F G On the day you were born - Am C We grew up in fields on the outside Am C Pulling black London gold from the ground Am C I saw the smoke in a daydream F G And when the rain came falling down F C I thought I heard a voice in Ramah F C The sound of weeping and loud lamentation Em F Rachel weeping for her children C Em F Em Because they are no more, because they are no more Am C There in the lights ‘til the morning broke Am C I stood on the edge of the mound Am C With a man from from the press giving words of hope F G Saying that all's quiet now F C I thought I heard a voice in Ramah F C The sound of weeping and loud lamentation Em F Rachel weeping for her children C Em F Em Because they are no more, because they are no more Am C I dream you in your communion dress Am C I dream you in warm streets of light Am C But I’d give the world for a night of rest F G To get you out of my mind F C To never have heard a voice in Ramah F C The sound of weeping and loud lamentation Em F Rachel weeping for her children C Em F Em Because they are no more, because they are no more
