_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ Is [Gm] life just an endless [D#] walk to nowhere? _ _ _ _ _ _
With [Dm] streets that just lead [Gm] to dead ends?
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
Where parents [Gm] water their flowers with hate, [D#]
and children do the same? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ But who's to [Gm]
blame?
_ _ [D#] _ _ Spring? _
_ No.
_ _ [D] It's just a gentle thing.
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ But man _
[D] flies around the moon
_ [C#] _
and [A] _ _ _ sings a song that starts with June
[F#m] _ _ and [E] eats his lunch at every noon.
[A] _
In harmony he does this, _ _ _
[D] _ but with [C#] love he's out of tune.

_ you [C#m] were _ surely [A] _ _ right.
If _ _ the world [C#m] should end _
[A] _ [F#m] tomorrow, _ _ _ _ _
it would be [C#m] by man's [A] own mind.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Lord, [E] have mercy [A] on [F#m] us. _ _ _ _
_ _ Seems to [C#m] be our _
[A] favorite _ [F#m] line. _ _ _
_ When it all [C#m] went down, [A] all in _ trouble, _ _ _
_ _ [D] all God's [C#m] children [A] turned divine. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ Father, [Gm] there's _ war and pawn. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ Lord, [Gm] there's hurt and _ sorrow. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ I'm going [Gm] to be an old seed _ tomorrow. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] Father, _ father, _ father, _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Give us [C#m] your guiding [A] _ light.
