A5              G5       D5     C5 
Bells are chiming for victory
D5             C5      G5      A5
There's a page back in history
   D5  A5 45               G5     D5                     C5
They came back to the world that they fought for
D5          C5      G5
Didn't turn out just like they thought
A5  D5  A5 45

D5         E5           D5       E5
Here is a song to sing to do the measuring
D5                        E5                    
What do you lose, what do you gain, what do you win?

Nine years later a child is born

There's a record, so you put it on
45
Nine years more, if we're lucky now

Nine-year-old puts his money down
45
Every scratch. every click, every heartbeat

Every breath that I held for you
45
There's a stack of shellac and vinyl

Which is yours now and which is mine?
45
Here is a song to sing to do the measuring

What do you lose, what do you gain, what do you win?


A5                   D5         
Bass and treble heal every hurt
                C5  G5
There's a rebel in a nylon shirt
A5            G5    D5
But the words are a mystery, I've heard
F#5                      B5         ( F#5 B5 )
'Til you turn it down to 33 and 1/3
A5            G5       D5   C5  D5
'Cos it helps with the elocution
             C5   G5
Corporations turn revolutions
A5 G5 A5
45

So don't just weep and shed
Just change your name instead
What do you lose when it all goes to your head?

I heard something peculiar said:
"Perhaps he's got a shot and now he's dead"
45

Bells are chiming and tears are falling
It creeps up on you without a warning
45
Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat
Every breath that I bless
I'd be lost, I confess
45
