Using Baby Boomer [D] guilt, if you like.

_ [D] _ _ _ [F#m] _ [D] Just _
[A] by right of [D] thinking, hitherto the plan has to be to leave a kind of [Dm] better world [F#m] to your children, [D] but_ _
You're probably doing a terribly brilliant job. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Here's to all the [A] grandchildren, yet [Em] to be born great [Gm]-grandchildren, all their [D] sons and daughters and [Em] their own grandchildren [A] too.
_ _ _ [D]
I offer you this [C#] hand, _ [C] out [Em] across the ages [A#] span, the [D] misbegotten plan to [G] lead the [D] reckoning to [G] you.
_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _
Now I must [A] apologize, _ _ [C] [G] it's written in these troubled [Gm] skies, we've been [D] paddling lies somehow, [Em] forgotten what is [A] true.
_ [D] _
Though it's buried deep, _ [C] [D] the poison never [G] _
[A#] sleeps, [Gm] through the ages [Dm] seeps to [G] lead the [A] reckoning [D] to you.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _
[F#m] [G] We hang [D] on to misguided [F#m] dreams, [G] [D] sleepwalk to the [Bm] brink, [A] hey [D] ho we rue the [Em] day we're going [A] down and [D] grey.

[D] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
I have planted _ [E] seeds in vain to [Em] raise an apple [A#] tree, [Gm] to [D] entice the bees to sip [Em]
the blossom [D] from the bough.
_ _ But the bees [F#m] don't [D] toil [C] around [Em] the bough, some serpent coils, [Gm] drips venom in [D] the soil and [G] leaves the [A] reckoning [D] to [G] you.
_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [F#m] [G] We hang on [D] to misguided [F#m] dreams, [G] [D] sleepwalk to the [Bm] brink, [A] hey [D] ho we rue the [G] day we're going [A] down and grey.

[Dm] Here's to all [D] the grandchildren, yet to be [Em] born great-grandchildren, [Gm] all their [Dm] sons and daughters [Em] and their own [D] grandchildren [A] too.
_ [D] I offer you [F#m] this toast, [C] should these troubles come [G] to roost, [A#] for we ate the golden [D] goose and [G] left [D] the reckoning to you.
[G] _ _ [A] _ [D] _
_ [G] The [A] reckoning [D] to you, [G] _ _
[A] _ [D] _ _ _ [E] ooo _ [Em] _
