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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  D  E  F#  F#m  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
