[G]
[Abm]
In the year [Gb] 3535, ain't gonna need to tell the world, tell [E] no lies.
Everything you think, do and [Eb] say, is in the bill, used to do today.
[Abm] In the year [Gb] 4545, ain't gonna need to do what meets your [E] eyes.
You gon' find the things to [Eb] choose, nobody's gonna look at [Ab]

In the year 8510, [G] mama's gonna shake your body [F] again.
He'll either say, I'm too frail, I'm half dead, [E] or tear it down and start again [Am] from raw.
[Bbm]
In the year 8511,
[Ab] if man is gonna be [Gb]
alive, he's taking everything this old earth can [F]
give.
And he ain't put back nothing, no.
[Bbm] Now it's been ten thousand [Ab] years, man has cried a [Gb] billion tears, for what he never [Cm] knew.
[F] Now man's reign [Ab] is [Bbm] through, but through eternal [Db] light, [Ab] the twinkling of [Gb] starlight.
So very far [F] away, maybe it's only [C] [Bb] yesterday.
