Intro: Dm C A# Dm
Dm 
Seen from the height 

     A# 
Of a thousand miles 

    Am                          Dm 
The earth looks the same as it did 

Dm                   A# 
How is it we can fly faster than day 

       Am                       Dm 
But we can't find the things we need 

G                  F 
Young man said the old man 

        C                         Dm 
Let the youth in your heart be at rest 

       G 
We may all be dead 

     F 
In a year or a day 

         C                   Dm   C A# Dm 
When the devil is put to the test 
D5 C5 A#5 D5 The day of creation Was our finest hour It's something we ought to defend But it's been so abused Since the first day of light That no glory can come in the end Young man cried the old man There is victory in staying alive And if you care so little For the world we're in Why and what do you Want to survive
Am 
Can't we try 

           A# 
To let the past go by 

          C 
With it's lessons firmly 

              Em 
Settled in our minds 

       Dm 
To our children one by one 

      G 
And before the darkness comes 

       C                     F 
Let us leave a world full of light 

               Dm 
Of a different kind 

Am 
In truth they should meet 

         Dm 
And with love 
Their hearts should beat
         G 
And with patience 

          E               Am 
Solve the problems of our time 
It wouldn't be so hard to do It's only up to me and you Let us not bequeath A life that is a crime
Dm 
Seen from the height of a thousand miles 

    C                          Dm 
The earth looks the same as it did 

Dm 
How is it we can fly faster than day 

       C                       Dm 
But we can't find the things we need 
Young man cried the old man Let the youth in your heart be at rest We may all be dead In a year or a day When the devil is put to the test Young man ...
