A Song For David Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ In [B] my heart I [A] will wait by [E] the stony _ _ _ gates
And the little one in [A] my _ arms [E] will sleep _
_ _ _ [B] Every rising _ [A] of the moon [E] makes the years grow late
_ _ And [B] the love in [A] our _ _ [E] hearts will _ _ keep
_ There [C#m] are friends I [E] will make
_ [C#m] And bonds I [E] will break _ [C#m] as the seasons [E] roll by
[C#m] And we _ build our [F#] own _ [C#] sky
[B] In my heart [A] I will wait [E] by the stony gates
_ _ _ [B] And the little ones [A] _ _ _ _ [E] will _ sleep
_ _ [G#m] The _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] stars in [A] your sky [E] are the stars in _ mine _
[B] And both prisoners _ [A] of this life [E] are we _ _ _ _
[B] Through the same [A] troubled waters [E] we carry our time _ _ _
[B] You and [A] the _ convict [E] and me _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] There's a good _ [E] thing to know [C#m] on the _ outside [E] or in _
[C#m] To _ answer [E] not where _ [C#m] but just who [F#] I am _
[B] Cause the stars [A] in your sky [E] are the stars in mine
_ And [B] both prisoners _ [A] of this life are we _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] The _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ hills that [A] you know will [E] remain for you
_ And [B] the little _ [A] green _ will stand firm
The _ _ _ [B] flowers _ [A] that we planted _ through the seasons past
_ _ Will [B] all bloom on [A] the day _ [E] you return _
_ _ _ [C#m] To a _ baby [E] at play
[C#m] All a mother [E] can say _ [C#m] is she'll return on [E] the wind
To [C#m] our hearts [F#] until then
[B] I will _ sit [A] and I'll wait [E] by the stony gate
_ And [B] the little one [A] beneath the trees [C#m] will dance _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
