I Come and Stand at Every Door The Byrds
I Come And Stand At Every Door chords
The Byrds 1966 (poem by Nazim Hikmet)
I [D]come and [C]stand at [C/A]every [D]door,
but no one [C]hears my [C/A]silent [D]prayer
I [G]knock and [A]yet remain un[D]seen,
for [Em]I am dead, for [C]I am [D]dead[Dsus4] [D]
I'm [D]only [C]seven [C/A]although I [D]died,
in Hiro[C]shima [C/A]long a[D]go
I'm [G]seven [A]now as I was [D]then,
when [Em]children die they [C]do not [D]grow[Dsus4] [D]
My [D]hair was [C]scorched by a [C/A]swirling [D]flame,
my eyes grew [C]dim, my [C/A]eyes grew [D]blind
Death [G]came and [A]turned my bones to [D]dust,
and [Em]that was scattered [C]by the [D]wind[Dsus4] [D]
I [D]need no [C]fruit, I [C/A]need no [D]rice,
I need no [C]sweets nor [C/A]even [D]bread
I [G]ask for nothing [C]for my[D]self,
for [Em]I am dead, for [C]I am [D]dead[Dsus4] [D]
[D]All that I [C]ask is [C/A]that for [D]peace,
you fight to[C]day, you [C/A]fight to[D]day
[G]So that the [A]children of this [D]world,
may [Em]live and grow and [C]laugh and [D]play[Dsus4] [D]
