[Intro]
E A9
(2X)
[Verse 1]
E G#m
The flowers died on fields of hope
E G#m
All the way from east to west
E G#m
Where the mighty winds will blow
E G#m
I’ll put my dreams to rest
B F#m
This scary monster is very much alive
B F#m
Like a hundred years ago
[Verse 2]
E G#m
If all those missiles would be bread
E G#m
No one had to starve tonight
E G#m
We run for shelter and what is left
E G#m
Is a life ain't worth a dime
B F#m
So far away from human rights
B F#m
Stranded all alone
[Chorus]
E C#m
It's a long way to go
F#m B
To find the world we used to know
E C#m
A long way to go
F#m B
To find the better world we used to know
[Intro]
E A
[Verse 3]
E G#m
Before we make this world a mess
E G#m
We gotta clean up our minds
E G#m
We could be brothers, sisters, yes
E G#m
United once and all the time
B F#m
From out of space the captain takes a look
B F#m
At mother earth, so small
[Chorus]
E C#m
It's a long way to go
F#m B
To find the world we used to know
E C#m
A long way to go
F#m B
To find the better world we used to know
[Bridge]
D E F#m
Who will be cryin' when we fall (Just tell me)
D E F#m
Who in the world can heal our souls
[Solo]
E A
(3X)
[Chorus]
E C#m
It's a long way to go
F#m B
To find the world we used to know
E C#m
A long way to go
F#m B
To find the better world we used to know
F#m B
A better world we used to know
F#m
A better world
B E
It’s a long way to go
