[Verse 1]
     DI remember the promise
          BmThat you made in the barn
           DWhen the kittens were born
         BmAnd you could not keep warm

        DSo you moved away the mountain
         BmThat the sun rose behind
         DAnd you said yourself a prayer
          BmAnd laid down with the blind

[Chorus]
         ABut you lost them in your freedom
         BmAnd you need him now, you're wild
  ABlessed is the memory
      BmOf everybody's child

[Interlude]

|: D Bm D Bm |

[Verse 2]
         DAnd the vow of compassion
          BmThat you swore through your teeth
          DWhen the war began to end
           BmAnd the photographs weep

        DWell, nobody blames you
        BmAs the train pulls away
           DWith its cargo of snow
           BmFor these German paper-weights

[Chorus]
         ABut you lost them in your freedom
         BmAnd you need him now, you're wild
  ABlessed is the memory
     BmOf everybody's child

[Interlude]

|: D Bm D Bm |

[Verse 3]
            DWell, it's five in the morning
        BmThere's no one home
   DExcept for your wife
          BmAnd your child on the phone

     DSomebody's got to listen
       BmTo a promise or two
          DOh, this room is far too small
        BmFor a pilgrim like you

[Chorus]
         ABut you lost them in your freedom
         BmAnd you need him now, you're wild
  ABlessed is the memory
     BmOf everybody's child

[Interlude]

|: D Bm D Bm |

[Verse 4]
     DSo, now that you've decided
    BmTo follow the sun
         DLike a shadow of birds
      BmOr a king on the run

           DOh, your chains are too dark
         BmFor the seas you must swim
          DYou are smiling at the seaweed
          BmBut your smile is too grim

[Chorus]
         ABut you lost them in your freedom
         D                   Dsus4 DAnd you need him now, you're wild
  ABlessed is the memory
     DOf everybody's child

  ABlessed is the memory
     D          Dsus4 DOf everybody's child
  ABlessed is the memory
     DOf everybody's child
