Allison Russell - Requiem

[Intro]
B B B B

[Verse]
B
Oh, I know your way
E
Is hard to see today
B F#
Bullets, they fly faster than mother’s lullabies

B
And the sparrows cannot sing
E
For it is theirs to bring
B F# B
The souls of those lost babies back to the sky

[Verse]
B
So it is yours to sing
E
My child, my wild brightling
B F#
With the love born in the cradle of time

B
And fight and fight and fight
E
In the dying light
B F# B
For all lost and gone forever clementines

[Chorus]
B
Requiem
E
Requiem
B
The question is not if
F#
It was always when

B
But go on, go on my child
E
Hope is a prairie fire
B F# B
Set your embers on the summer wind

[Instrumerntal]
B B B B

[Verse]
B
Courage, mon petit loup
E
Tu chante maintenant pour tous
B
Les enfants dans les ombres
F#
Peurs et froids, perdus

B
Courage chanter bien forte
E
Les perdus vont t’entendre
B F# B
Et suivre le son de dix mille voix en joie

[Verse]
B
La haine est enterrée
E
L’heure des miracles est née
B
L’amour est éternelles
F#
Courage, mes beaux, mes belles

B
So it is yours to sing
E
My child, my wild brightling
B F# B
With the love born in the cradle of time

[Chorus]
B

The question is not if

But go on, go on my child

Hope is a prairie fire

Set your embers on the summer wind

The question is not if

Set your embers on the summer wind
