[Chorus]
A E D [tab] Bm E A We'll no longer be alive A E D We'll have all gone up in smoke Bm E A There'll be no way to reply F G D E A C D You'll be wondering about the world that vanished long ago F#m E D And the words that reach you now D E A That were buried underground
[Verse]
A E D Bm E A Greetings to everyone in Nineteen Thirty-Seven A E D Bm E A It seems that you were never aware that we were here F G D E A C D You're probably too busy re-joicing in the present F#m E D D E A To stop - and be reminded of the dark and troubled past
[Chorus]
A E D By the time you get this note Bm E A We'll no longer be alive A E D But our skulls are smiling still Bm E A At the thought of things to come F G D E A C D We can confidently know that you'll enjoy a better world F#m E D When the evils that we faced D E A Will at last be laid to rest
[Bridge]
F#m Bm When the poisons of the Earth C# F#m Are completely neutralized F#m Bm When the hatred and the lies C# F#m Are forever put aside D E B C# F#m A B When the voices of dissent and contradiction all abate D F#m Bm And the peaceful air is filled Bm C# F#m With a silent harmony
[Verse]
A E D Bm E A We can't be certain at the moment of this writing A E D Bm E A But surely in the future there'll be no barking dogs F G D E A C D The sound of crying babies will be thankfully forgotten F#m E D D E A No more will the chattering classes make a noise
[Chorus]
A E D By the time you get this note Bm E A A millenium from now A E D We'll have all gone up in smoke Bm E A There'll be no way to reply A E D And we confidently know Bm E A You'll enjoy a better time A E D When the evils that we faced Bm E A Will at last be laid to rest
