Intro Em / Bm / D / Em / x 6
verse 1
Em Bm D Em
Take all the Metal and Wood
Em Bm D Em
Used in the waging war
Em Bm D Em
And teach the men that make those weapons
Em Bm D Em
To build shelter for the poor
verse 2
Take all the money we spend
On the way that we appear
Find the ones that die of hunger
And help them to see another year
Em Bm D Em
Before we fade away
Em Bm D Em
Let's make a better day
Em Bm D Em
This world will keep on turning
Em Bm D-- Em
After we are gone... long gone.
Solo: Em / Bm / D / Bm / x 4
verse 3
There is a forest I loved
Where the air was fresh and clean
We took the forest for a factory
So we could build some more machines
verse 4
When I was young I learned to sing
And music blossomed in my soul
We took the music from the schools
And left the darkest, gaping holes.
Chorus:
