Intro Em / Bm / D / Em / x 6
Verse 1
Take all the Metal and Wood
Used in the waging war
And teach the men that make those weapons
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
Chorus:
Before we fade away
Let s make a better day
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:
Where will our children be?
If they don t learn to see?
Millions of voices falling silent til they re gone
Bridge:
When we were young all the world was new
But soon we found the childhood fairytale were never true
Verse 5
And how the story ends depends on you and me
Where will our children be? If they don t learn to see?
Millions of voices falling silent til they re gone
Outro:
Before we fade away
Let s make a better day
This world will keep on turning
After we are gone after you are gone.
Em Bm D-- Em
After we are gone... long gone.
