ISABELLA

C

News from Europe made her feel sad

Dm

By the gate there’s a young man watching the snow fall

G7                                                                          C    Fm

Soldiers from foreign countries must look like that

C

She gave him some bread and an old blanket and left

Dm

The seventh sister in the family prayed

G7                                                                          C

The body had been there for three days or so

They found it dead near the neighborhood

And people just watched the trees covered in snow

C

That December in 1944

Isabella still had her Self made haircut
