Am Am7
The hole in her chest is for the lost little lamb
F G
The world's on its quest, nobody gives a damn
Am Am7
And silvery days of silence, they go
F G
How they lost their ways, those little lambs in the snow
Am F G Am F G
These are not shells of the sea, these are the shells of the sky
Am F G Am F G
They took my baby away from me, and no one has ever told me why
Am F G Am F G
The -ey chewed him and spit him and he never knew what hit him
Am F G F G
No little kisses goodbye, hmmmmm
Am F G Am F G Am F G
She - e - ells, she - e - ells, she - e - ells
Am F G
Oh - wah, oh - wah, oh -wah, oh - wah
I won't stand to ask for God's mercy
I can't stand a thing anymore
They were only making angels in the snow in the middle of a war
And the blood of these lambs speaks of the darkness
And the blood of these lambs speaks of the rage, yes,
And blood of these lambs is rolling to the sea
It's writing our history, every single page
Shells, shells, shells
Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh, wah, oh
Chair at the table missing a child
Months of the gone past, the weather is mild
I go to the sea, I follow the tide
I hold seashells to me, and I feel the sky
These are not shells of the sea
These are the shells of the sky
They took my baby away from me and no one has ever told me why
They chewed him and spit him, he never knew what hit him
No little kisses goodbye
Shells, shells, shells
Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah
Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah
