I Come And Stand At Every Door chords
The Byrds  1966 (poem by Nazim Hikmet)

  D        C        C/A   DI come and stand at every door,
           C        C/A    Dbut no one hears my silent prayer
  G         A            DI knock and yet remain unseen,
    Em             C    D   Dsus4 Dfor I am dead, for I am dead

    D    C     C/A        DI'm only seven although I died,
       C     C/A   Din Hiroshima long ago
    G     A            DI'm seven now as I was then,
     Em                C      D   Dsus4 Dwhen children die they do not grow

   D        C             C/A      DMy hair was scorched by a swirling flame,
             C       C/A       Dmy eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
      G        A                  DDeath came and turned my bones to dust,
    Em                 C      D   Dsus4 Dand that was scattered by the wind

  D       C        C/A     DI need no fruit, I need no rice,
          C          C/A  DI need no sweets nor even bread
  G               C     DI ask for nothing for myself,
    Em             C    D   Dsus4 Dfor I am dead, for I am dead

D          C      C/A      DAll that I ask is that for peace,
            C        C/A     Dyou fight today, you fight today
G           A                DSo that the children of this world,
    Em                C         D   Dsus4 Dmay live and grow and laugh and play
