How Long |
| Pre b em c7 d em |
| How long, how long can we go on |
| F# g b |
| How long, how long can we go on |
| C d |
| This troubled land may never last |
| C d em |
| There is no future in the past |
| How far, how far have we gone |
| How far, how far have we gone |
| So many battles without a gain (so many struggles have we lost) |
| So many young men lost in vain. |
| (so many men on the cross) |
| G d |
| Why the fear of the coming of the morning? |
| G em |
| Why the trembling at the call? |
| G d |
| Can’t we hear the final warning |
| C em |
| Can’t we see the writing on the wall? |
| So many years before the dawn |
| So many years before the dawn |
| So many children have never grown |
| So many cannonballs have flown |
| (so many dogs have hid their bone) |
| So many rains have had to fall |
| So many rains have had to fall |
| So many storms before the flood |
| So many rainbows red with blood |
| Why the fear of the comin' of the morning? |
| Why the trembling at the call? |
| Can’t we hear the final warning? |
| Can’t we see the writing on the wall? |
| How long, how long can we go on |
| How long, how long can we go on |
| This troubled land may never last |
| There is no future in the past. |
