[Intro]
D [Verse 1]
D G D Upon a winding forest road D G A I met a soldier far from home Bm G D I saw he was my enemy G A D So I aimed at him and he at me D G D Prepared was I, but loath to shoot D G A And he, uncertain what to do Bm G D A cold sweat formed upon my brow G A D But we both kept rank and stood our ground D G D And then, the curious thing occurred D G A On wings arrived a tiny bird Bm G D And troubled not by war or peace A G D She sang for us a melody [Chorus]
G D Bm A Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh G Bm A Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh G D Bm A Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh G A D G A D Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 2]
E A E I did not move or look away E A B Lest my life, my foe would take C#m A E Yet in his eyes, I saw his fright A B E Just a boy like me afraid to die E A E The meadowlark sang on and on E A B Then more arrived and joined the song C#m A E And as I held my rival stare A B E A tremendous chorus filled the air E A E Then in my heart, as clear as day E A B I heard a gentle whisper say C#m A E My son, if my disciple be A B E Show grace and love your enemy [Chorus]

F# B F# With swell of birds sung all around F# B C# Lowered I my rifle down D#m B F# And as my foe took aim at me B C# D E I showed him yield on bended knee F# B F# He faltered then and shook with fear F# B C# And from his eye, he wiped a tear D#m B F# His gaze was as a brothers bond B C# F# And then, he turned and he was gone [Chorus]
