[Intro ]
C 

verse 1 
C            Am 
I was walking in a town 
G                F         G 
On the waterfront I saw a building 
C            Am 
I went inside into the darkness 
G                         F     G 
Into the coolness of the airconditioning 
C      D7 
a-ha.. a-ha 
C      D7 
a-ha.. a-ha 

verse 2 
C                     Am 
There were photographs of children 
G               F            G 
They were in a war and they killed them 
C             Am               G                  F          G 
I was feeling, feeling smaller, smaller than the coin in my hand 
C      D7 
a-ha.. a-ha   
 C      D7 
a-ha.. a-ha   

[Refrão]

Chorus 
C 
Mourir avant 15 ans - To die before you're 15 years 
Am 
I turned away to hide the tears 
Em 
How could I understand 
       Em              F        G       C 
That a man can kill a man, can kill a child 
C      D7 
a-ha.. a-ha    
C      D7 
a-ha.. a-ha 

verse 3 
C              Am 
I went outside into the sunlight 
G                        F    G 
Children playing on the riverside 
C               Am 
They were happy and it was peaceful 
G                     F        G              C     D7  C    D7 
I went back to my hotel and I watched the seagulls fly  ...

Mourir avant 15 ans - To die before you're 15 years 
Am 
I turned away to hide the tears

How could I understand

a-ha.. a-ha 

Post-Chorus 
C     Am            G        Am

Down Saint Jean street

To the Saint Lawrence River

To the wide open spaces
