I [Eb]
used to think the world was flat, [Cm] really threw my head into the crowd.
I [Ab]
felt I had used up my quota [Bb] of yearning.
[Eb] Used to looking on the children at night, [Cm] in the glow of their Donald Duck light.
I [Ab] frightened myself, I thought of my little ones [Bb] burning.
[Cm] But oh, [Bb] the tide is turning, [Eb]
[Cm]
[Bb] the tide [Eb] is turning.
Satellite buzzing through the endless night,
[Cm] Exclusive to motion shots and world title fights.
[Ab]
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be [Bb] earning.
[Eb] Who is the strongest, who is the best?
[Cm]
Who holds the aces, the east or the west?
[Ab] This is the craft, our children are [Bb] learning.
[Cm] Oh, [Bb] the [Eb] tide is turning,
[Cm] oh,
[Bb] the tide [Eb]
is turning.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] Oh, the [Bb]
tide is [Eb] turning.
Now the satellite's confused, because on Saturday night,
[Cm] The airwaves will flow love, compassion and life.
And [Ab] his silicon heart won't set, [Bb] a billion candles burning.
[Cm] Oh, [Eb] the tide is turning, oh, the tide is turning.
[Cm]
[Bb] [Eb]
I'm not saying the battle is won,
But on [Cm] Saturday night, all those kids in the sun,
[Ab] Misting technology soon, in the hands of the [Bb] warlords.
[Cm]
[Bb] Oh, the tide is [Eb] turning,
[Cm] oh, [Bb]
the tide [Eb] is turning.
[Cm] [Bb] The tide is turning, [Eb] my master.
