The Shortest Story

 STRUM C CHORD SLOWLY  
 PLUCK C ON THE B STRING AND THE OPEN G STRING TOGETHOR THREE TIME  
   
   
  C         G      F                 G             Em     STRUM Em  
 SLOWLY   
  I am born today, the sun burns its promise in my eyes;  
   
  F       G              C      Em         Am  
  Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and cry.  
   
  F          G            C       Em          Am  
  Above me a cloud softly tumbles through the sky;  
   
  G       G          F  
  I am glad to be alive.  
   
   
 >G     F  
   
  C                 G   F            G           Em  STRUM Em SLOW   
  It is me seventh day, I taste the hunger and I cry;  
   
  F               G     C       Em      Am  
  my brother and sister cling to Mama`s side.  
   
  F                G                  C      Em      Am  
  She squeezes her breast, but it has nothing to provide;  
   
  G               G         F  
  someone weeps, I fall asleep.  
   
   
 >G    F  
   
  C                 G      F             G          Em   STRUM   
  It is twenty days today, Mama does not hold me anymore;  
   
  F         G            C  Em        Am  
  I open my mouth but I am too weak to cry.  
   
  F          G            C     Em         Am  
  Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky;  
   
  G                    G              Am  
  why is there nothing now to do but die?
