   A little ways  away from here,

      It's nothing,   just a picture book   they had before the war.

   Daddy,  daddy, come and see!    Daddy   come and look!
Eb5                    C#5
   Why there's four or five little  Melinda girls

   Inside  my picture book.

        Come away Melinda.     Come in and close the door.

 There were lots of little girls like you  before they had the war

E5           D5                    C5        D5
   Oh daddy, daddy, come and see!    Daddy hurry do!
E5                D5
   Why there's someone in a pretty dress,
C5                  E5                      Em7+
   She's all grown up like you.  Won't you tell me why?

     G5       D5           B5              F#5
       Come away Melinda.   Come in and close the door.
     G5         D5                  B5     F#5            B5
       That someone is your mommy    you had before the war.

E5         D5      C5         D5
   Daddy, daddy,    tell me if you can.
E5                 D5                  C5    E5                  Em7+
Why can't things be the way they were    before the war began?

     G5       D5           B5              F#5
       Come away Melinda.   Come in and close the door.
     G5                 D5            F#5                     B5
       The answer lies in yesterday     before they had the war.
