Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]MUMMY, MUMMY, come and see,
come [G]see what I have [A]found
A little way away from here
while [G]digging in the [A]ground
Come [C]away, [G]Melinda,
come [Em]in and close the [Bm]door
That's [C]nothing but a [G]picture book
they had be[C]fore the [E]war[A]
Mommy, Mommy, come and see,
Oh, [G]Mommy, come and [A]look,
There's four or five Melinda girls
In[G]side this picture [A]book.
[Am]Come [C]away, [G]Melinda,
Come [Em]in and close the [Bm]door,
[C]There were lots of little [G]girls like you
Before they [C]had the [E]war.[A]
Mommy, Mommy, come and see,
Oh, [G]Mommy, hurry do,
[A]There's someone grown up very tall
Who [G]doesn't look like [A]you.
Come [C]away, [G]Melinda,
Come [Em]in and close the [Bm]door,
Your [C]father was a [G]man like that,
before they [C]had [E]the war.[A]
Mummy, mummy, come and see,
such [G]things I've never seen.
[A]There's happy faces all around,
and [G]all the ground is [A]green.
Come [C]away, [G]Melinda,
come [Em]in and [G]close the [Bm]door.
That's [C]just the way [G]it used to be
before they [C]had the [E]war[A]
Mummy, mummy,
come and see and [G]tell me if you [A]can
Why can't it be the way it was
be[G]fore the [A]war began?
[G]Come [C]away, [G]Melinda,
come in [Em]and close [G]the door
[Bm]The [C]answer lies [G]in yesterday
before [Bm]they had [E]the war
