[E]
Who owes the money?
Who [C#m] owes the need?
Who [C#] owes the strains of [E] misery?
Or the curse of greed?
And the gunmen weep?
Or the gangsters do?
The [C#] law is cheap
[B] When the smart brothers go
[E] Give us peace, give us peace, [E] and our time
Give us peace, give us peace, [B] and our time
[A] While I have other lives [E] that I have to kill
[C#m] Give us peace, give us peace, [E] and our time
In sunkist rooms, in [C#m] city slums
Mines are [E] restless, they'll be [C#m] here a minute or two
From the [E] far west floor to the [C#m] western mine
[B] Chat show, tell bit, or a [E] party line
[D] And the hardest love of all is [C#m] to forgive
[B] And as the world comes [E] crumbling down
Give us peace, give us peace, and our time
Give us peace, give us peace, [B] and our time
[A] While I have other [C#m] lives I have to live
I have to give us peace, give us peace, [E] and our time

[D] [A] [E]
[D] When all the rain comes [A] down on my [E] society
And the [D] clouds [A] hold a fiery [E] fire
I hear the blame, I see the cause
A stronger voice, and it's all the love
But fireflies and [C#m] sellers sell
[B] Public consumption over [A] private health
[E] Give us peace, give us peace, [E] and our time
Give us peace, give us peace, [B] and our time
[A] While I have other lives I have to live
[E] [C#m] Give us peace, give us peace, and [E] our time
Give us peace, give us peace, and our time
Give us peace, give us peace, [B] and our time
