Intro: 
Em 

Verse: 
     Em                 Bm 
I remember when I was younger 
C                      Am 
I saw the pictures on TV 
        Em                Bm 
Of the children who were my age 
C                             Am 
Who had to live their lives in fear 


Pre-Chorus 
           D/A    G             Am      Am7 
I sang the peace songs with the hopeful ones 
      Bm                                    C         D 
We believed the world would change and all'd be free 


Chorus: 
         Em 
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on 
        D     
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong 
            C 
And if weâ??d gather around  
         Bm          D 
We could make more sound 


Verse: 
         Em            Bm 
Now I am older, maybe wiser 
C                       Am 
Maybe more a cynic than before 
       Em              Bm   
But I still long for a new day 
C                            Am 
Let us pray with many millions strong 


Pre-Chorus 
                 D/A    G             Am      Am7 
We will sing the peace songs with the hopeful ones 
       Bm                               C        D 
Let us still believe the world will be as one

It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on 
        D     
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong 
            C 
And if weâ??d gather around  
         Bm          D 
We could make more sound      (x2) 


Bridge: 
Am   G       F#m       Em 
       Be brave be bold 
Am   G           F#m         Em 
     And let the truth be told 
Am   Bm          C          D 
        Pass the message on
