Come Away Melinda Lyrics & Tabs by Kenny Rankin
Come Away Melinda
guitar chords lyrics
Mommy, Mommy come and see
Look what i have found
A little way away from here,
While digging in the ground
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
It's nothing but a picture book
They had before the war
Mommy, Mommy come and see
Oh mommy hurry look
Four or Five Melinda girls,
Inside this picture book
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door,
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Mommy, Mommy come and see
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Mommy, Mommy come and see
Such things i had never seen
Happy faces all around,
And all the grass is green
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
That's just the way it used to be
Before they had the war
Mommy, Mommy come and see,
Oh mommy hurry do
Someone grown up very tall
Who doesn't look like you
(rubato)
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
Your father was a man like that
Before they had the war
(tempo)
Mommy mommy come and see
Tell me if you can
Why can't it be the way it was
Before the war began
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war
