INTRO:
Em

VERSE:
     Em                 Bm
I remember when I was younger
C                      Am
I saw the pictures on TV
        Em                Bm
Of the children who were my age
C                             Am
Who had to live their lives in fear


PD-C HORUS:
           D/A    G             Am      Am7
I sang the peace songs with the hopeful ones
      Bm                                    C         D
We believed the world would change and all'd be free


CHORUS:
         Em
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on
        D    
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong
            C
And if we’d gather around 
         Bm          D
We could make more sound


VERSE:
         Em            Bm
Now I am older, maybe wiser
C                       Am
Maybe more a cynic than before
       Em              Bm  
But I still long for a new day
C                            Am
Let us pray with many millions strong


PD-C HORUS:
                 D/A    G             Am      Am7
We will sing the peace songs with the hopeful ones
       Bm                               C        D
Let us still believe the world will be as one


CHORUS:
         Em
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on
        D    
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong
            C
And if we’d gather around 
         Bm          D
We could make more sound      (x2)


BRIDGE:
Am   G       F#m       Em
       Be brave be bold
Am   G           F#m         Em
     And let the truth be told
Am   Bm          C          D
        Pass the message on


CHORUS:
         Em
It was a shout in the distance, but it echoes on
        D    
Like a drop in the ocean but the faith is strong
            C
And if we’d gather around 
         Bm          D
We could make more sound   (x3)
