riff :   B A B   E F# G E   |   A G A F#  |  B A B   E F# G E |  ......

Ebm        Db                    B            Db
   Daddy,  daddy, come and look!    See what  I have found!
Ebm               Db
   A little ways  away from here,
B         Ebm                    Ebm7+
   While digging in the ground.

     F#       Db           Bbm             Fm
        Come away Melinda.     Come in and close the door.
     F#            Db                    Bbm     Fm            Bbm
      It's nothing,   just a picture book   they had before the war.
                                                                      mtm
Ebm        Db                    B         Db
   Daddy,  daddy, come and see!    Daddy   come and look!
Ebm                    Db
   Why there's four or five little  Melinda girls
B         Ebm                Ebm7+
   Inside  my picture book.

     F#       Db           Bbm             Fm
        Come away Melinda.     Come in and close the door.
F#              Db                       Bbm           Fm      Bbm  Bm
 There were lots of little girls like you  before they had the war

Em           D                    C        D
   Oh daddy, daddy, come and see!    Daddy hurry do!
Em                D
   Why there's someone in a pretty dress,
C                  Em                      Em7+
   She's all grown up like you.  Won't you tell me why?

     G       D           Bm              F#m
       Come away Melinda.   Come in and close the door.
     G         D                  Bm     F#m            Bm
       That someone is your mommy    you had before the war.

Em         D      C         D
   Daddy, daddy,    tell me if you can.
Em                 D                  C    Em                  Em7+
Why can't things be the way they were    before the war began?

     G       D           Bm              F#m
       Come away Melinda.   Come in and close the door.
     G                 D            F#m                     Bm
       The answer lies in yesterday     before they had the war.

Enjoy,
Mauri
