Pete Seeger – Where Have All The Flowers Gone lyrics
Where have all the flowers gone
(Pete Seeger)
(Gagf) cam/Cd7g7/Cam/Fcg/Cam/Cd7g7/Fgc/Fgc
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the flowers gone?
The girls have picked them ev'ry one.
Oh, When will you ever learn?
Oh, When will you ever learn?
Young girls
They've taken husbands ev'ry one.
Young men
They're all in uniform.
Soldiers
They've gone to graveyards ev'ry one.
Graveyards
They're covered with flowers ev'ry one.
Flowers
Young girls have picked them ev'ry one.

German and sung by Marlene Dietrich. The combination of the
Language and the setting had a shattering effect on those who
Heard it.
