At the bottom you'll find a link to the complete lyrics.

From his second album "Songs from a Room" (1969). A story taken directly from the Bible, and added some anti-war philosophy in the last verse. 
Am                  F          Am            F
the door it opened slowly  my father he came in
       G         E
I was nine years old
        Am             F            Am                   F
and he stood so tall above me  his blue eyes they were shining
         G              E
and his voice was very cold
C
he said I've had a vision and you know I'm strong and holy
       D                  B
I must do what I've been told
        Am            Gm              Am              Gm
so he started up the mountain  I was running  he was walking
        C        G       A    ...Am
and his axe was made of gold
