Metal Wood Chords & Lyrics - Tyrone Wells

Intro Em / [Bm] / [D] / Em / x 6

[VERSE 1]
Take all the [Em]Metal and [Bm]Wood [D] [Em]
Used in the [Em]waging [Bm]war [D] [Em]
And teach the [Em]men that [Bm]make those [D]weapons[Em]
To build [Em]shelter [Bm]for the [D]poor [Em]

[VERSE 2]
Take all the money we spend
On the way that we appear
Find the ones that die of hunger

And help them to see another year

[CHORUS]
[Em] Be[Bm]fore we [D]fade a[Em]way
[Em] Let's [Bm]make a [D]better [Em]day
[Em] This [Bm]world will [D]keep on [Em]turning
[Em] [Bm] D-- [Em]
After we are gone... long gone.

Solo: Em / [Bm] / [D] / Bm / x 4

[VERSE 3]
There is a forest I loved
Where the air was fresh and clean
We took the forest for a factory
So we could build some more machines

[VERSE 4]
When I was young I learned to sing
And music blossomed in my soul
We took the music from the schools
And left the darkest, gaping holes.

[CHORUS]
[Em]Where [Bm]will our [D]children [Em]be?
[Em]If [Bm]they don't [D]learn to [Em]see?
[Em]Millions of [Bm]voices falling [D]silent til' they're [Em]gone

[BRIDGE]
When [Em]we were [Bm]young [D]all the world was [Em]new
But [Em]soon we [Bm]found the [D]childhood fairy[Em]tale were never [Em]true

[VERSE 5]
And how the story ends depends on you and me
Where will our children be? If they don't learn to see?
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone

[OUTRO]
Before we fade away
Let's make a better day
This world will keep on turning
After we are gone after you are gone.
[Em] [Bm] D-- [Em]
After we are gone... long gone.
