Gordon Bok – Fashioned In The Clay (Guitar)

G                  D           C               G
When it seems that everyone is worried for themselves

C                G                 D
Buying plans for fallout shelters, stocking up the shelves

G             D              C               G
Living in the fast lane, and staying high at night

C                G              D                G
Thinking that by accident we'll blow out all the lights

G                 D            C                  G
Look, now, at the potter whose wheel is spinning 'round

C                G                  D
Shaping with her hands the past and future from the ground

G                 D                    C             G
Cups that will be filled and drunk, so warm in wintertime

C                    G                  D               G
Plates and bowls for dinner served with candlelight and wine

      G             D
She believes, she believes

       Em           C       D
By her work it's so easy to see

         Em        C             G         C
That the future is more than the following day

     G           D             G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

G               D      C              G
Look now at the farmer working in his field

C               G                 D
Hoping that the sun and rain will guarantee his yield

G                D                 C          G
Like a seed, the wind has blown to unfamiliar ground

C                    G                  D                G
He waits to see what fate will bring as each year rolls around

     G            D
He believes, he believes

       Em           C       D
By his work it's so easy to see

         Em        C             G         C
That the future is more than the following day

     G           D             G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

G                    D      C           G
Elsewhere, there are lovers in a warm embrace

C                G              D
Happy with their plans to carry on the human race

G            D                 C            G
Now the baby cries and wonders if it's all alone

C             G                 D           G
Softly voices reassure there'll always be a home

       G             D
They believe, they believe

         Em           C       D
By their work it's so easy to see

         Em        C             G         C
That the future is more than the following day

     G           D             G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

    G               D              C               G
So, if you had been worried that tomorrow wouldn't come

C               G                    D
Look to see the ones whose lives are following the sun

G                 D                  C                  G
And the hope that springs so clearly from the work they do

C                    G               D                G
Will spread a little further when it finds a place in you

     G           D
We believe, we believe

       Em           C       D
By our work it's so easy to see

         Em        C             G         C
That the future is more than the following day

     G           D             G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

         Em        C             G         C
That the future is more than the following day

     G           D             G
It's fashioned securely in the clay
