[F/Eb] [Bb] [F/C] [C] [Bb/C] [C] x2

Life was filled with guns and war,

and everyone got trampled on the flo[Bb]or,

I wish we'd [F/C]all be[C]en re[Bb/C]ad[C]y

Children died the days grew cold

a piece of bread could buy a bag of [Bb]gold

I wish we'd [F/C]all be[C]en re[Bb/C]ad[C]y

There's no time to [F]change your mind

the [Eb]Son has come and [Bb]you've been left be[F]hind

A man and wife asleep in bed,

she hears a noise and turns her head he's gone,

I wish we'd all been ready

Two men walking up a hill,

one disappears and one's left standing still,

I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind

the Son has come and you've been left behind

Life was filled with guns and war,

and everyone got trampled on the floor,

I wish we'd all been ready

Children died the days grew cold

a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind,

how could you have been so blind

The Father spoke the Demons dined,

the Son has come and you've been left behind
