Is It Like Today

(início)

INTRO: G  D  Am
            G  D         Am                      Em
Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
                  G       D   Am
All that he could see was Babylon
                G          D          Am                   Em
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars
                G     D      Am
But there was a worry in his heart
CHORUS:
He said,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
                  G    D        Am                    Em
Then there came a time it moved out 'cross the Mediterranean
                G             D           Am
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
                 G            D              Am             Em
With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
                G       D           Am
They could just sit and guess god's name
CHORUS:
But they said,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
                  G       D      Am              Em
Then there came a time of Kings, Empires and revolution
             G                     D        Am
Blood just looks the same when you open the vein
                G       D        Am            Em
Sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
                G         D              Am
But the furrowed brow has never left his face
CHORUS:
He says,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                         D       C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
INSTRUMENTAL:    G  D  Am  Em  G  D  Am   (2x)
CHORUS:
              D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D   Am
We've been living in a landslide
              D       Am
How could it come to this?
                         D       C
Yeah, I really want to know about this
                  G     D          Am                     Em
Then there came a time, man packed up, moved off from the planet
              G      D      Am
He went to the moon, took a load
                G      D        Am             Em
Now he's out in space, hey-hey, fixing all the problems
          G           D    Am
He comes face to face with god
CHORUS:
He says,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                          D     Am
I'm really worried about my creation
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
