A Sign Of The Ages Chords by Gil Scott-Heron

[Am] _ _ _ It's a sign of the _ ages, _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] markings [Eb] on my _ _ _ [G] mind. _ _
[Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] Men at the _ [Dm] crossroads, _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] at [Bm] odds [Eb] with an angry sky.
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ There can be no salvation, _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Gm] there can be [Bb] no [Dm] _ rest, _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ Until [Bb] all [Eb] old customs _ [F] are [Eb] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] [Gm] put to [A] the _ test.
[C] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ The gods [G] are all angry, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you _ [D] _ _ [G] hear [A] from the _ breeze. _ _ _
[Am] As _ _ [C] nights slam [G]
like a [D] hammer, [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] yeah, [G] and you [Gbm] drop to [A] your _ _ knees.
_ [F] _ _ [C] The questions [F] can't be _ [C] answered, _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] you're always [Bb] haunted by [F] the [C] _ [Dm] past.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [A] The world's [F] full of [Gm] children [F] _ _ _ [Cm] who _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] [Eb] grew up too [A] _ _ [Am] fast.
_ _ [Dm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _ [Am] _

[Am] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ Yeah, [Dm] but where can you run, _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ [G] since there ain't no [A] world of your _ _ [Em] own.
[Am] _
_ And you know that [G] no one will ever miss you, yeah, _ _ _ when _ you're [Eb]
finally [A] gone.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
So you cry like a baby, a baby.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ Or you go out and get high, _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
but [Ab] there ain't no [Bb] peace on earth, man.
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
Maybe [Gm] peace when [A] you _ die, _ _ [G] _ yeah. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
