Let Them In

INTRO: C  G

         C
Let them in, Peter
         G
They are very tired
          Am                G            Am
Give them couches where the angels sleep
                F
And light those fires


         C
Let them wake whole again
   G                Am
To brand new dawns
               G
Fired with the sun
       F
Not wartime's bloody guns


          C
May their peace be deep
         G
Remember where the broken bodies lie
    Am        G                F
God knows how young they were

To have to die
    Am        G               C
God knows how young they were

To have to die


INTERLUDE: G  Am  G  F  C  G  Am  G  F


             C
So give them things they like
         G
Let them make some noise
     Am                    G
Give dance hall bands, not golden harps
   F
To these our boys


             C
And let them love, Peter
         G
'Cause they've had no time
                 Am             G
They should have trees and bird songs
    F
And hills to climb


             C
The taste of summer
     G
In a ripened pear
    Am             G            F
And girls sweet as meadow wind

With flowing hair


          C
Tell them how they are missed
    G
And say, not to fear
           Am   G      F  G
It's gonna be alright
             C
With us down here


INTERLUDE: G  Am  G  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G  Am  G  F


         C
Let them in, Peter
