(Recorded version is ? tone up, i.e., cappo on 1st fret) 
 
D5                  A5 
If I had words like a hammer 
D5                  C5 
If I had powers unreal 
D5                  A5 
Then I would tear down Megiddo 
G5                        D5      A5 
And I would bring you songs of love 
G5            D5      E5 
And every child of tomorrow 
C5      D5            A5 
Safely in his bed could lie 
D5                        E5 
And hate would die of starvation 
A5 
I wish it was      (I wish it was) 
E5                  A5 
Wish it was today it was 
 
I wish it was      (I wish it was) 
E5 
Wish it was today .... 
 
I?d find an old man lonely 
In the autumn of his years 
I?d find a young girl hoping 
To lose herself in love 
And to both I?d give a rainbow 
For neither side can make it on their own 
Young and old come together 
I wish it was      (I wish it was) 
Wish it was today it was 
I wish it was      (I wish it was) 
Wish it was today .... 
 
I?ll find some magic morning 
I?ll take a boat out on the sea 
Maybe run before the west wind 
To bring you songs of love 
And every fear for tomorrow 
In my head could surely lie 
And you and I - we?d be together 
 
I wish it was      (I wish it was) 
Wish it was today it was 
I wish it was      (I wish it was) 
Wish it was today ....
