Year Or A Day

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
