[Tabs + Lyrics]

When I was young
6 (136) 7 1*

And scared of the world
2* (3573*) 3* 5* 3*

My mother Would sing me a song
3* (2462*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

A tune that I keep In a sacred place
1* 7 (136) 7 1* 2* (3573*) 3* 4* 3*

Because I know That my life won’t be long
3* 3* (572*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 1* 7 (136)

It tells of the place Where you go
3* 5* (461*6*) 6* 7* 6* 5* 6* 5* (3573*)

When your time here on Earth is through
3* (2462*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

A beautiful place We call heaven
3* 3* (2466*) 6* 6* 6* 5* 7* 6* 5* (3573*)

Is it true
1* 2* (361*3*)

Please God I pray that it’s true
2* 2* 3* 2* 1* 7 (136)

‘Cause once this land
6 (136) 7 1*

Was heaven on Earth
2* (3573*) 3* 5* 3*

Green hills were all You could see
3* (2462*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

But now it’s soot
1* 7 (136) 7 1*

And steel and brick
2* (3573*) 3* 4* 3*

So it looks more Like hell to me
3* 3* (572*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 1* 7 (136)

And each day brings More and more suffering
3* 5* (461*6*) 6* 7* 6* 5* 6* 5* (3573*)

And each night is silence and fear
3* (2462*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

And I wake To the sound of your voice
3* 3* (2466*) 6* 6* 6* 5* 7* 6* 5* (3573*)

But you’re not here
1* 1* 2* (61*3*)

Why aren’t you here?
2* 2* 3* 2* 1* 7 (136)

So now I lay me Down to sleep
6 (136) 7 1* 2* (3573*) 3* 5* 3*

I pray the Lord My soul to keep
3* (2462*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

Please let me die Before I wake
1* 7 (136) 7 1* 2* (3573*) 3* 4* 3*

So the Lord My soul, can take
3* 3* (572*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 1* 7 (136)

Then maybe I’ll finally find you
3* 5* (461*6*) 6* 7* 6* 5* 6* 5* (3573*)

‘Midst the beauty Of paradise
3* (2462*) 2* 3* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

And you’ll sing not of dying But living
3* 3* (2462*) 2* 2* 2* 5* 7* 6* 5* (3573*)

Wouldn’t that be nice?
2* 2* 1* 2* (3573*)

Wouldn’t that be nice?
5* 5* 3* 5* (61*3*6*)
