INTRO:
Em
VERSE:
Em Bm
I remember when I was younger
C Am
I saw the pictures on TV
Em Bm
Of the children who were my age
C Am
Who had to live their lives in fear
PD-C HORUS:
D/A G Am Am7
I sang the peace songs with the hopeful ones
Bm C D
We believed the world would change and all'd be free
CHORUS:
Em
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on
D
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong
C
And if we’d gather around
Bm D
We could make more sound
VERSE:
Em Bm
Now I am older, maybe wiser
C Am
Maybe more a cynic than before
Em Bm
But I still long for a new day
C Am
Let us pray with many millions strong
PD-C HORUS:
D/A G Am Am7
We will sing the peace songs with the hopeful ones
Bm C D
Let us still believe the world will be as one
CHORUS:
Em
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on
D
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong
C
And if we’d gather around
Bm D
We could make more sound (x2)
BRIDGE:
Am G F#m Em
Be brave be bold
Am G F#m Em
And let the truth be told
Am Bm C D
Pass the message on
CHORUS:
Em
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on
D
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong
C
And if we’d gather around
Bm D
We could make more sound (x3)
Em
