[G]
[D] [Am]
[Em] [G]
[D] [E]
Many [G] years ago, [D] he [Am] looked out through a [Em] glassless window
All that [G] he could see [D] was bare and [A]
long
Beautiful [G]
green fields [D] and dreams
[Am] And learned to measure [Em] the stars
But there [G] was a worry [D] in [Am] his heart
He said, [Am] how could it come to this?
I'm really worried [D] about [Am] living
How could it come to this?
And I really [A] want to know [C]
about me
And [G] like today, [D] oh, [A] oh
Then there [G] came a day
[D] Moon [Am]
across the [Em] Mediterranean
Came to [G] Western Isles
And [D] the Greek young man
With the [G] silver beards
They [D] laughed [Am] at the unknown of [Em] the universe
They could [G] just sit and [D] guess [Am] God's hand
But they said, how could it come to this?
We're really worried [E] about [Am] living
How could it [D] come to this?
Yeah, we really [E] want to know [C]
about me
[E] And [G] like today, [D] oh, [Am] oh
Then there [G] followed a day
Of [D] kings, [Am]
empires and [Em] revolutions
Blood just [G] looks the same
With [D] open [Am]
veins
Sometimes [G] it was faith, [D] power
[Am] Or reason as [Em] the cornerstone
[E] But the [G]
furrowed brow [D] has never left [Am] his face
He said, how could it come to this?
We're living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really [D] want to know [C]
about me
Or is it [G] like today?
[D] Oh, [Am]
oh
Then there [G] came a day
[D] Man [A]
packed up, flew up [Em] from the planet
He went [G] to the moon, [D] to [Am] the moon
Now [G] he's out in space, [D] hey
[Am]
Fixing all [Em] the problems
He comes [G] face to face [D] with [Am]
God
He says, [Am] how could it come to this?
I'm really worried [D] about my [Am]
creation
How did it come to this?
You're really killing [D] me, [C] you know
