Intro:  G 

 

IÃÆ'¢â‚¬?ve [G]heard the sound of my dear old mama [C]crying 

And the [D]sound of the train that took me off to [G]war 

The [G]awful sound of a thousand bombs ex[C]ploding 

And I [Am]wondered if I could take it any[C]more[D] 

 

There were [G]times when they almost drove me [C]crazy 

But I [D]did my best and took it like a [G]man 

And [G]who would think in my lonely room IÃÆ'¢â‚¬?d [C]hear it 

The [D]one sound in the world my heart canÃÆ'¢â‚¬?t [G]stand 

 

[N.C.]To hear that sound and to [G]know its really [C]over 

Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk a[D]way 

And of [G]earthquakes storms and guns and war 

Lord [C]nothing has ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound  

The [D]closing of the [G]door 

 

(Key change to G#) 

And of [G#]earthquakes storms and guns and war 

Lord [C#]nothing ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound  

The [D#]closing of the [G#]door
