I'll tell you what I do [D] when you're the cold break [A] dawn and [Em] seven o'clock on a Monday morning
for a cup [A] of coffee, better make it a strong one.
[Em] When the man on [D] the radio [A] says [Em] it's gonna rain and it's gonna blow, it'll be [D] alright,
it'll be [A] alright, it'll be [E] alright in the long run.

[Em] [D] [A]
[Em] So we marched [D] out of [C#m] Vietnam, out in the [Em] streets against Uncle Sam and we won [A] the fight.
It was a long one.
[Em] The Iranian demo [D] the other day, [A] one [Em] of my mates got dragged away.
As they slammed the [D] door I [A] heard her say, it'll be [Em] alright in the long run.
Sam's loads [D] who worked with me, [A] and we [Em] squabbled often company, and he slapped me on the [D] back,
[A] said you're wrong son.
[Em] This isn't the land I was told [D] it'd be, [A] it's not [Em] so equal [E] and not so free.
It'll be [D] alright, it'll be alright, [A] it'll be alright [E] in the long run.

[Bm] [E]
[Em] a sit [D] on Nick's screen, [A] sheer as curse, [E] the people dream, we've taken some right [D] turn,
[A] but it's been the wrong one.
[Em] The truth keeps [D] leaving the headlines, [A] blaze Australia [Em] remembers, happy day.
The faith [D] lives on within the [A] hearties, it'll be [E] alright in the long run.
[Em] Sitting in your [Bm] canteen, you stare at the [C#m] fire, the doubts drop [Em] away as the hope gets higher,
and you sing to [D] yourself, it'll be alright, [A] it'll be [Em] alright in the long run.
And the sun is [D] crowned, the long call, [A] knowing you've strong, your [Em] courage for another fight,
but you know in your [A] heart it'll be alright, [E] it'll be alright in the long run.
[D] [A]
[E] [D] [A]
[Em] You're sleeping [A] with paramite, and you look [E] at your kids in a different light,
