Intro: GDAmGDAmEm
Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
GDAm
All that he could see was Babylon
GDAmEm
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars
GDAm
But there was a worry in his heart
Chorus:
He said,
DAm
"How could it come to this?
DAm
I'm really worried about living
DAm
How could it come to this?
DC
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
GDAmEm
Then there came a time it moved out 'cross the Mediterranean
GDAm
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
GDAmEm
With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
GDAm
They could just sit and guess god's name
Chorus:
But they said,
DAm
"How could it come to this?
DAm
I'm really worried about living
DAm
How could it come to this?
DC
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
GDAmEm
Then there came a time of Kings, Empires and revolution
GDAm
Blood just looks the same when you open the vein
GDAmEm
Sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
GDAm
But the furrowed brow has never left his face
Chorus:
He says,
DAm
"How could it come to this?
DAm
I'm really worried about living
DAm
How could it come to this?
DC
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
Instrumental: GDAmEmGDAm (2x)
Chorus:
DAm
How could it come to this?
DAm
We've been living in a landslide
DAm
How could it come to this?
DC
Yeah, I really want to know about this
GDAmEm
Then there came a time, man packed up, moved off from the planet
GDAm
He went to the moon, took a load
GDAmEm
Now he's out in space, hey-hey, fixing all the problems
GDAm
He comes face to face with god
Chorus:
He says,
DAm
"How could it come to this?
DAm
I'm really worried about my creation
DAm
How could it come to this?
DC
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
