E                          G#m
The flowers died on fields of hope
E                     G#m
All the way from east to west
E                      G#m
Where the mighty winds will blow
E                  G#m
I’ll put my dreams to rest
B                     F#m
This scary monster is very much alive
B                    F#m
Like a hundred years ago

If all those missiles would be bread
No one had to starve tonight
We run for shelter and what is left
Is a life ain't worth a dime
So far away from human rights
Stranded all alone

Chorus:
                    E C#m
It's a long way to go
             F#m               B
To find the world we used to know
               E C#m
A long way to go
             F#m            B
To find the better world we used to know

Before we make this world a mess
We gotta clean up our minds
We could be brothers, sisters, yes
United once and all the time
From out of space the captain takes a look
At mother earth, so small

Chorus

D             E             F#
Who will be cryin' when we fall (Just tell me)
D           E                  F#
Who in the world can heal our souls

Chorus:
It's a long way to go
To find the world we used to know
A long way to go
To find the better world we used to know
A better world we used to know
A better world
It’s a long way to go
