How many years can a mountain exist

                      Em              A7        
Before they're allowed to be free.

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head        
                               G               A7     
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows        
                      G                 A7        
That too many people have died?
