If there's one great thing

If there's one great day

[Verse 1]
     B                    A            E
I've seen to much of what fighting has done

     B
I've seen too much anger

     A               E 
I've seen it far too young

    E
And talk will come to nothing

          C#m                 A     
While the shouting still goes on

    A               
But we are only singers 

    B             
And too many songs are sung
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
     B
I've seen the way of martyrs

     A               E  
I've seen the way of kings

     B                  A        E
I've seen the hope that love can bring

  E
I only hope what pleases me

     C#m      B    A
Will also pleasure you 

   A
For mine can never be the hands

     B
That make a dream come true
