Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (this is just to play along with the recording, sounds fine in standard)

note:  the easiest way to play those G chords is to play the low E string with your
your not comfortable doing that then I would suggest just playing G G2 G G2 for the intro/verse

Intro:

G5  G5  G5  G5

VERSE 1:
              G5                     G5
When the dollar made with blood is spent
                G5                                G5
When an enemy can't become a friend
                  G5                         Cadd2
When the better man won't lend a hand
         E5                   D5      G5
Baby this is how the world will end


When a day of hope is a rarity,
Or a diplomat hasn't time to see
That a child lost is a true offense,
Baby, this is how the world will end.

CHORUS:
          Cadd2           G5
Bring a chair up to the table.
          Cadd2           G5
Bring a message to the crowd.
           Cadd2                  D5        E5          Cadd2
     D5
Where's a common trust to deliver us from the wretched and the proud?
           Cadd2          G5
Sing a tune about the promise.
           Cadd2           E5       D5
Speak on that which we depend.
            G5                         Cadd7
And if a certain light don't shine again,
       E5                D5        G5
Baby, this is how the world will end.

VERSE 2:
When the poorest kid is fending for himself,
Or the widow cries, but she gets no help.
When we know what's true, but we still pretend,
Baby, this is how the world will end.


CHORUS


SOLO


CHORUS
Bring a chair up to the table.
Bring a message to the crowd.
Where's a common trust to deliver us from the wretched and the proud?
Sing a tune about the promise.
Speak on that which we depend.
Now let that certain light come shinin' then,
Baby, we could change the world again.

                  G5                                     Cadd2
But if that certain light don't shine again,
          E5                    D5          G5
Baby, this is how the world will end.
