🎸 Kuiama chords by Electric Light Orchestra

• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎸 Verse 1:
E
My, my Kuiama, she came in the morning
  E
She smiled but the tears on her little face
      E
Showed the pain that had been in that far-off place
  F#m A      E
So sad, treated so bad



🎸 Verse 2:
E
My, my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin'
  E
To say how your ma and your pa passed away
     E
And they left you to wander the ruin and decay
   F#m A        E
Real mean, that bullet machine

🎸 Verse 3:
E
See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles
   E
Is a long, long way and you're here today
    E
And you won't go back so you might say
  F#m A      E
"Hello, how do you do "


🎸 Verse 4:
E
Kuia, stop your cryin', there's no bombs a-fallin'
  E
No horsemen in the night a-ridin'
E                    F#m  A
Through your dreams and tearing at your life
     E
Baby, goodnight


🎸 Bridge:
C#m           B
No more silver rain will hit your ground
      G#
And no more guns will sound
    A
No more life be drowned
C#m             B
No more trenches where the soldiers lie
      G#
And no more people die
       A
Beneath that big black sky

🎸 Verse 5:
E
Wake up
Kuiama
I got somethin' to tell you
   E
It's just that I mean, well, that is to say
     E
That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again
  F#m A     E
For you
I must be true


🎸 Verse 6:
E
Kuia, in this country, they got rules with no reason
   E
They teach you to kill and they send you away
     E
With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay
  F#m A       E
So cool, that no mercy tool


🎸 Verse 7:
E
Kuia, please believe me
I just couldn't help myself
 E
I wanted to run but they gave me a gun
     E                  F#m  A
And they told me the duty I owed to my fatherland
     E
I made my stand


🎸 Verse 8:
E
Kuia
I just shot them
I just blew their heads open
   E
And I heard them scream in their agony
  E
Kuiama, she waits there for me
F#m   A      E
True blue, you saw it through
