If you want to play bass along with this song, it's a half step down from each note.

Intro: D  Bm  F#m  A  (repeat)

D         Bm    F#m     A
Each time on my leaving home

  D        Bm    F#m      A
I run back to my mother's arms,

D        Bm       F#m       A  D
One last hold and then it's over.

Watching me, you know I cry,
You wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!

Gmaj7 F#m   Bm         C     G
All I am, a child with promises

Em7   F#m       Bm            C    G      A
All I have, are miles full of promises of home.

If only I could stay with you,
My train moves on, you're gone from view,
Now I must wait until it's over.

Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long; eternity,
But I must wait until it's over.

No Picture `Wanna Be`	#1 by `Rob .C at Feb 17, 1987 at 6:32 PM EST`
	From Enya's "Only Time: The Collection": "War carries with it inevitable sadness. This is the song of the grief of a child evacuee, of the separation of the child from mother and father. Unfortunately it is not a song that belongs only to the past." I love this song...

	Such a touching song. Everytime I hear this song, I miss my mom.

	Pretty sure this song is about going away from your home for a while. She talks about her mom, but it can about anybody or group of people your leaving for a long time. One of my favorite Enya songs.
