Barclay James Harvest – Happy Old World (Guitar)

Am                                 D
Looking like something from out of space we came

Bm              Bb              C  
Nothing much to look at but did he complain

   E                            Am                D
He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace

F                           E 
What we're doing to him now could put us back in space

      Am                                   D
We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor

Bm              Bb                C
Losing sight of what we've really come here for

    E                              Am            D
Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate

F                        E                  C
Take time to look around before it gets too late

       Am C      D
It's a happy old world

G                 C#m
Give and take a bit that's what you make of it

  Am G      F#m  D
A happy old world

G                   E
But I'm sorry to be leaving it

       Am G      D
It's a happy old world

G                   E
Give and take a bit that's what you make of it

  Am        D
A happy old world

G                                         D
  But I guess I still, I still believe in it

E                  F#m   C#m
  It's a happy old world

      Am                          D
We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams

    Bm                   Bb                   C
And highways, they're in places where they've never been

      E                              Am             D
We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun

   F                 E
Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done

Am                           D
Need some help to get myself out of this maze

Bm               Bb              C
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways

   E                                  Am                 D
My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines

F                                             E
  Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds

       Am C      D
It's a happy old world

G                 C#m
Give and take a bit that's what you make of it

  Am G      F#m  D
A happy old world

G                   E
But I'm sorry to be leaving it

       Am G      D
It's a happy old world

G                   E
Give and take a bit that's what you make of it

  Am        D
A happy old world

G                              D
  But I guess, guess I still believe in it

E                  F#m   C#m
  It's a happy old world
