IN THE YEAR 2525
Zager & Evans
(very slowly - strum each cord once)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive they may find
(moderately fast)
In the year 3535
Ain t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain t gonna need your teeth won t need your eyes
You won t find a thing to chew
Nobody s gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin to do
Some machine s doing that for you
/ / / /
In the year 6565
You won t need no husband, won t need no wife
You ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
>From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God s a comin He oughta make it by then
Maybe He ll look around Himself and say
Guess it s time for the judgement day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He ll either say I m pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again woh oh / / / /
In the year 9595
I m kinda wonderin if man is gonna be alive
He s takin everything this old earth can give
(strum only once)
and he ain t put back nothin woh oh
(very slowly - strum each cord once)
Now it s been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man s reign is through
But through eternal night
the twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it s only yesterday
(moderately fast)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
- (strum the last chord
If woman can survive, they may find only once)
Another timeless standard from the 60 s!
