The Shield

Tom: F#

F#                        F#m
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
F#                E/F#         F#
While the children play in the field
F#                        F#m
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
F#       E/F#         F#
But how strong is the shield?
F#                        F#m
Can peace be found on the carpet above ground
F#           E/F#    F#
Where sky is forever blue
          F#        E        A               D
So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud
G                      F#
Which may take me from you
