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 


[Refrão]
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: 
Em    Bm       D        Em 
Where will our children be? 
Em Bm         D        Em 
If they don't learn to see? 
Em          Bm             D                   Em 
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone 
  
Bridge: 
     Em      Bm    D                 Em 
When we were young all the world was new 
    Em      Bm        D              Em              Em 
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.
