        C                  F          G
Well, I wrote this song on New Year's Eve

C                     F    G
Thinking of days gone by

C               F               G
Dreaming of all good things to come

C                       F       G
Singing that Auld Lang Syne

      C                    F           G
And I hope this year won't be like the last

  C                       F    *
I hope that my money will hold

  C                        F         G
I hope that the days won't go by too fast

  C                          F  D7  G  G7 *
I hope that my good gal will show

      C                  F           G
And I hope I can be some use to this world

  C                        F *
I won't be too prideful to try

C                         F          G
Realize that sometimes it only takes one

          C                           F    G
To make a difference in another one's life

      C                   F          G
And I hope I can find the courage to speak

             C                          F *
When there's something that needs being said

      C                           F       G
And I hope that my words will not tear us apart

             C              F   D7   G   G7 *
But to bring people closer instead

      C                     F            G
And I hope all this useless killing will stop

  C                          F *
I hope that the hatred will slow

  C                        F        G
I hope there's a calm come over the hand

       C                        F *
Of the one's who have anger to show

      C                         F         G
And I hope that the families displaced by war

       C                        F *
Find a country so brave and so bold

   C                         F          G
To let down their guards and open their arms

       C                         F   D7   G   G7 *
To the one's who have nowhere to go

      F                    G
And I hope that the raging flood waters subside

       C                          Am
and it rains on dry mountains and fiery hillsides

         F                    G
That the winds of change blow swift through our hearts

        C                           Am
And we'll lay down our weapons, not fire the first shot

        F                           G
at the one's who march brave on the streets arm-in-arm

          C                          Am
And their stories be told, and their causes live on

           F                           G
And we'll right all our wrongs, put an end to our war

           C                                Am
and we'll reach for compassion till there's bloodshed no more

        F                        G
And we teach every child so they might rise above

        C                        Am
and the power means nothing in a world without love

          F
Don't cha see?

         G
Don' cha see?

          C   F   C   G   C
Don't cha see?
