E                       A                  D                A
Jack you?ve spelling wrong for so long, now I?m so tired
E                       A               D               A
The only thing you can go and do is get yourself fired
                E                       A
And with your pay cheque, just like the last one
                D               A       E       A
When tonight through it will be gone so will I

A               C#m             A7                      D
This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through
Dm                                    A
I?ve had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you
A               C#m        A7           D
Tell me am I dreaming as I look around
Dm                                      A
We can?t afford a descent life for those with their feet on the ground


Chorus :
        Bm7                                  A
        I feel it my duty to try and pass it on
              Em
        This wisdom of the word
            F#
        I understand the nature of life
            D             E                D            E               D       E
        As well as any soul left living, as well as any man still alive


He said there?s an answer for a hundred years or two
He came in a dream one night, wisdom morning come to a fuse
This is been a long life now mine is nearly through
And if I?d have the my  again I?d spend it all with you

Chorus

A               D                 E               A
Dreams exist in dreamland, my passion fails to show
A                    E         D                        A
My eyes no longer sparkle, desire begins to slow
A                       D              E                A
Confirm peace is beyond my imagination
A                               E            D      A / G#m / F#m
It?s your life they demand for little appreciation
F#m                                                     E                       A / G#m / F#m
It?s all well and good when it?s understood, we can beat them if we try
F#m                                                     E
It?s all well and good when it?s understood, we can beat them if we try


Solo :  A / A / C#m / C#m / A7 / A 7
        D /  D / Dm / Dm / Dm / Dm / A / A / E / E
                        If we try


This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through
I?ve had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you
This is been a long life now mine is nearly through
And if I?d have my time again I?d spend it all with you

Everyone will be together to hear the word to the wise
