_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Listen now, I will [G] tell _ [A] you about a little [G] fairy tale
[D] _ _ How _ Jesus [G] in his heart _ [A] _
shone like a [D] Christian _ _ _ _
She learned on Sunday _ [G] school, _ _
[E] to [A] love Jesus, [D] the child's _ friend
_ And she sang with [G] joy _ _ and delight, [A] He is mine, yes, [G] he is [D] _ _ _ mine
[B] _ _
_ And every Sunday [G] school, _
_ [A] sought his [D] forgiveness _ _
_ _ Among people who [G] forgot the Lord, _
_ [A] _ and his word [D] foretold _ _
_ But one day when [G] little Anna, _ [E] _ [A] sang a song about [D] the child's friend _
Her father, [G] the priest, asked, _
_ [A] Tell me, who [D] taught you this? _
_ Yes, on Sunday [G] school, dad, _ [A] answered little [D] Anna happily
_ _ There it is told [G] clearly about Jesus, _ [A] _ and who the [D] heaven gave _
_ _ The father answered, [G] with a sharp word, _ [E] _ [A] There, where you [D] are going _
_ And that more so [G] I hear, _
_ [A] I will soon beat you to [D] death _
_ Next Sunday, [G] little Anna, _ [A] _ dear mom, [D] I must go _
_ To my dear [G] Sunday school, _
_ [A] and if Jesus [D] hears _ _
The mother under [G] the tower awake, _ [E] _ [A] dear Anna, [D] you must go _
But come home before [G] dad comes, _
_ [A] _ he is drunk [D] as you _ know
_ Anna comes [G] home from meeting, _
_ [A] _ dad is already [D] _ _
there
He asks, where [G] have you been?
_ [A] _ Anna answers, [D] dad is coming
_ I have been to [G] Sunday school, _ [E] _ [A] Jesus loves [D] my dad _ _
_ And he sings for [G] him so _ _ [A] childishly, I am glad he [D] is my friend
_ [Eb] _ Like a wild [Ab] animal from the forest, _ [Bb] _ the [Eb] drunken _ father rises
_ His child is beaten so [Ab] blue, _ _
_ [Bb] no son he [Eb] will _ have
_ Neighbors come, [Ab] take the child, _ [F] _ [Bb] shamefully from his [Eb] father's side
The father in the [Ab] cell before, _
_ [Bb] where he now sits [Eb] in the boat _
_ During the [Ab] long hours of the night, _ [Bb] _ the mother wakes up her [Eb] child _ _
Who is waiting for the [Ab] angel of death, _ _
_ [Bb] soon her pain [Eb] will be over
_ Anna wakes, whispers, [Ab] miss, _
_ [F] [Bb] mom cries [Eb] more for me _
I go home to [Ab] my friend Jesus, _
[Bb] _ and there I wait for [Eb] you _
_ The sun [Ab] that is bloody _ _
[Bb] from my father's [Eb] wound _ _
I would like to [Ab] show Jesus [Bb] when I meet him [Eb] _ _ today
Greet dad when [Ab] he comes, _ _
_ [Bb] I say everything [Eb] he asks _
By the dark [Ab] man Jesus, _ [Bb] _
where he never [Eb] drinks _ more
Now she sleeps [Ab] to wake [Bb] up, home to her [Eb] best friend _ _
With the arm [Ab] drawn to the heart, _ _ [Bb] _
the [Eb] greeting is touched
_ So _ the [Ab] father in the cell breaks _ [F]
through [Bb] the cell's [Eb] window _ _ _
Jesus' beloved son [Ab] flows _ [Bb] _
into [Eb] the cell of the prisoner
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] In a [G] nightly dream he saw himself [A] standing by the beach [D] of a river
_ _ As I went to wade [G] over, _ _ [A] but on the other [D] side _ stood _ _
With a word in [G] the hand of the sun, [E] _ _
[A] little Anna [D] _ _ whispered _
Dad came to [G] the other beach, _ _ [A] I want to see dad [G] with me
[D] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
