[Verse]
Bb F C
Man said nature was his mother
G/B D
Made a promise at his birth
Dm F
But she's running like a hunted fox for cover

All across the earth

The forest turned into the tall ships
G/B D
And though they fought for England well
Dm F
The emptiness is ringing down the ages
Bb F
Like a hollow bell
[Chorus]
C Bb F
Where are they now?
C Bb
Old mysteries
F C Eb Bb F
The high ideas of a thousand years
C Bb Eb Bb F
All lost on the breeze..
C Bb C
Where are they now?
[Verse]
Bb F C
Asking wonders of our children
G/B D
Blind faith in all the rules
Dm F
But the blind lead the blind from the cradle
Bb C
Through the faith of fools
[Verse]
Bb F C
One son gone unto the merchant
G/B D
Another to the bishop went

Another son to serve the king and country
Bb F
In some regiment
[Chorus]

Where are they now?

All lost on the breeze..

Every year in late December

Hark the herald angels sing

In the church, words of peace on earth are spoken

It doesn't change a thing
