[Verse]
C#m
Steer your way through the pain that is far more real than you

       F#m
That's smashed the Cosmic Model, that blinded every view

    C#m
And please don't make me go there, though there be a God or not

Year by year, month by month, day by day

Thought by thought
[Bridge]
     A
They whisper still, the injured stones

                      E
The blunted mountains weep

      A
As he died to make men holy

                          E
Let us die to make things cheap

    B
And say the Mea Culpa, which you probably forgot
[Chorus]
        G#                           A    B
Year by year, month by month, day by day

           C#7      C#m
Thought by thought
[Verse]
C#m
Steer your way, O my heart, though I have no right to ask

       F#m
To the one who was never, never equal to the task

    C#m
Who knows he's been convicted, who knows he will be shot
[Chorus]
        G#                           A    B
Year by year, month by month, day by day

           C#7      C#m
Thought by thought
[Bridge]
     A
They whisper still, the injured stones

                      E
The blunted mountains weep

      A
As he died to make men holy

                          E
Let us die to make things cheap

    B
And say your Mea Culpa, which you gradually forgot
[Chorus]
        G#                           A    B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
