Intro:
[F] [F/Eb] [Bb] [F/C] [C] [Bb/C] [C] x2
[F]Life was filled with guns and war,
[F7]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
[F]Children died the days grew cold
[F7]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
[Bb]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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DC TALK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
