Where Have All the Flowers Gone 
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. 
Written by Peter Seeger. Copyright 1961 and 1977 by Fall River Music, Inc. The song was inspired by a passage from Mikhail Sholokhov's novel "And Quiet Flows the Don" with additional verses by Joe Hickerson. 
The song made its greatest impact in Germany, translated into German and sung by Marlene Dietrich. The combination of the language and the setting had a shattering effect on those who heard it. DC
