The hardest word

C  F  G

C
With me in the valley, you out on the hill
F                                G
I can just see you if I close my eyes
C
Climbing those mountains I picture you still
F                                  G
I see your smile just as I see the sunrise
C                         
This land is ancient, it's built out of bones
F                                       G
At war with each other, the mother, the father
C
The sisters, the brothers, the daughters and sons
F                                        G
Be kind to each other, your father, your mother

C
On the horizon the eagles are flying
F                                      G
And I mean no more than a cloud in the sky
C
I never know if I'm laughing or crying
F                            G
The hardest word is the word goodbye
C 
Teach me the old ways, I'm ready to learn
F                                     G
Be kind to the sister, be kind to the brother
C
The writer, the singer, the poet, the clown
F                                      G
Be good to the man and be kind to them all
C
And we are ancient, built from bones
F                                             G
Make time for the young and make time for the old
C
Be kind to each other, oh that's what I know
F                                     G
Be kind to the mothers, daughters and sons

C
The true and the great and the scared and the small
F                                      G
Be kind to each other, be kind to them all
C
Forgive our indignity and we forgive yours
F                               G
As I am the mother, you are the father
C
Entwined in each other now and forever
F                                        G
The fathers of daughters, the mothers of sons
C
Forever and ever and ever as one
F                                  G
As we are the brothers, we are the sons
C
And we are the daughters, the mothers and brothers
F                            G
Forever and ever and ever as one
