I used to Dlook out from my Awindow
And see the Dtall grass in the Awind
Standing A7there just like adDvance guardsBm  
EWaiting for the E7battle to beAgin
My mother Dused to be much Ayounger
She'd sing me Dsoft, sweet lullaAbies
I saw my fA7ortress in the DmountaBmins
EEach time I E7looked into her Aeyes
CHORUS:
But now she's gone
DTake me there, Gtake me there, DI don't care Awhere we go
DTake me, I Gjust want to Dknow what I Aused to Dknow
Take me there, Gtake me there, DI don't care Awhere we go
DTake me there, Gtake me, I Djust want to Ago
My father's Dhair has turned to Agrey now
I never Dstopped to ask him Awhy
And all the A7things that he once DtreasureBmdE  
I see them E7slowly drifting Aby
And now I Dlook out from my Amountain
And see the Dsoldiers in the Afield
It won't be A7long now 'til they Dhave mBmeE  
This time aE7dvance guards are for Areal
