[Verse]
    G#mSix-F#thirty winter mBorn
Snow keeps C#mfalling, silent dG#mawn
A rose by F#any other nBame
Eva lC#meaves her Swanbrook hG#mome
Kindest hF#eart which always Bmade
Me asC#mhamed of my G#mown
She F#walks alone but Bnot without her F#name
[Chorus]
BmEva fAlies away
EmDreams the world Dfar aAwayBm  
In this Acruel children's Emgame
There's no fDriend to cAall her Bmname
Eva sAails away
EmDreams the world Dfar AawayBm  
BmThe good in Emher will be my DsunflAower fBmields
[Verse]
    G#mMocked by mF#an to depths of sBhame
Little gC#mirl with life ahG#mead
For a mF#emory, one kind Bword
She would sC#mtay among the bG#measts

Before her eC#mscape, EdenG#mbeam
We F#kill with her Bown loving hF#eart
