I used to think the world was flat,
[Cm] Really threw my hat 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,
Thought of my little ones [Bb] burning,
But [Cm]
oh, [Bb] the tide is [Eb] turning,
[Cm]
[Bb] The tide is [Eb] turning,
Satellite fuzzing through the endless night,
[Cm] Exclusive to moonshots of world title fights,
[Ab]
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must [Bb] be earning,
[Eb] Who is the strongest, who is the best,
[Cm] Who holds the aces, the east or the west,
[Ab] This is the crap our children are [Bb] learning,
But [Cm] oh, [Bb] the [Eb] tide is turning,
[Cm] Oh,
[Bb] the tide [Eb] is turning,
[Cm]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] Oh, [Bb] the tide is [Eb] turning,
Now the satellite's confused,
On Saturday night,
[Cm] The airwaves were full of compassion and light,
And [Ab] a silicon heart,
Warmth and sight,
[Bb] Of a billion candles burning,
But [Eb] oh, 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] Resting technology soon,
In the hands of the [Bb] warlords,
Is [Cm]
[Bb] [Eb] turning,
[Cm] [Bb] The tide is [Eb] turning,
