[Verse 1]
Em        G
I've seen rivers red with blood

          C                   G
I've seen valleys filled with mud

G                       A7             D
I seen stormy seas that pound upon the shore

G
I've seen mountains strewn with bones

          C              G
I've seen people without homes

G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life
[Chorus]
    D                        G    G/F#    Em
And as I see the fury of the fire and the flame

  A7                         D
I wonder if my children will have to see the same
[Verse 2]
G
I've seen highways heading down

          C                   G
I've seen green grass turn to brown

G                         A7            D
I've seen forests burn a couple days or more

G
I've seen prairies filled with holes

          C                   G
I've seen good men sell their souls

G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life
[Chorus]
    D                        G    G/F#    Em
And as I see the fury of the fire and the flame

  A7                         D
I wonder if my children will have to see the same
[Verse 3]
G
I've seen rockets all ablaze

          C               G
I've seen dark and deadly days

G                           A7               D
I've seen cities bombed and butchered to the ground

G
I've seen battles by the score

            C          G
I've seen ten too many wars

G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life
[Chorus]
    D                        G    G/F#    Em
And as I see the fury of the fire and the flame

  A7                         D
I wonder if my children will have to see the same
[Verse 4]
G
I've seen rockets all ablaze

          C               G
I've seen dark and deadly days

G                           A7               D
I've seen cities bombed and butchered to the ground

G
I've seen battles by the score

            C          G
I've seen ten too many wars

G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life

G                     D             Em
Yes it's all with the passing of my life
