A - Amaj7 - A7 - Dm6 - Dm6/F       G          A 
                             hooho    hohoho     yeah, mmm 
Amaj7                         A7      Dm6 - Dm6/F - G 
      mmm tuutuutuu hohoho -     hoo 
[Verse]
A                                 Amaj7 
   These are the days of the open         hand 
                      A7 
They will not be the     last - Look around now 
       Dm6                     Dm6/F           G         A 
These      are the days of the        beggars    and the    choosers 
                               Amaj7 
This is the year of the hungry        man 
                       A7 
Whose place is in the    past - Hand in hand  
     Dm6                      Dm6/F           G     Bm 
with      ignorance And le -        gitimate     excuses
[Bridge]
                            F#7/Bb 
The rich declare themselves         poor 
                        D/A 
And most of us are not       sure 
                                 E/A# 
If we have too much - But we'll        take our chance 
       E                F#          Bm 
'Cause   God's stopped      keeping     score 
                            F#7/Bb 
I guess somewhere along the         way 
                               D/A 
He must have let us all out to       play 
                    E/A# 
Turned his back and        all God's children 
E         Esus4/F#          A 
   Crept           out the    back door
[Chorus]
                      Amaj7 
And it's hard to love,       there's so much to hate 
A7 
   Hanging on to hope 
Dm6              Dm6/F        G          A 
     When there        is no    hope to    speak of 
                          Amaj7                               A7 
And the wounded skies a -       bove say it's much, much too     late 
      Dm6                       Dm6/F      G             A 
Well       maybe we should all         be    praying for    time 
Amaj7                   A7     Dm6          Dm6/F       G        A 
       toehoehoe hohoho    hoo     hoo-oo -        hoo     hoho     yeah
[Instrumental]
Amaj7 - A7 - Dm6 - Dm6/F - G -
[Verse]
A                                   Amaj7 
   These are the days of the empty        hand 
                            A7 
Oh you hold on to what you     can - And charity  
     Dm6                Dm6/F          G 
is a      coat you wear        twice a     year 
A                                 Amaj7 
   This is the year of the guilty        man 
                         A7 
Your television takes a     stand - And you find  
     Dm6                      Dm6/F      G        Bm 
that      what was over there        is     over     here
[Bridge]
                                F#7/Bb 
So you scream from behind your         door 
                                 D/A 
Say what's mine is mine and not       yours 
                              E/A# 
I may have too much but I'll        take my chances 
       E                F#          Bm 
'Cause    God's stopped     keeping     score 
                                 F#7/Bb 
And you cling to the things they         sold you 
                                  D/A 
Did you cover your eyes when they       told you 
  
That he can't come back 
           E/A#                  E      Esus4/F#        A 
'Cause he        has no children    to           come      back for
[Chorus]
                       Amaj7 
And it's hard to love,        there's so much to hate 
A7 
   Hanging on to hope 
Dm6             Dm6/F                    A 
    When there         is no G  hope to    speak of 
                           Amaj7                        A7 
And the wounded skies a -        bove say it's much too      late 
   Dm6                       Dm6/F      G              A 
So      maybe we should all         be    praying for     time 
Amaj7              A7          Dm6       Dm6/F        G      A 
       toehoehoe -     hoo-oo -      hoo        hoho    yeah
