Where in the world are the
Em
Joyful motherfuckers?
C D
The fearless lovers? The rainbow shooters?
G Em
The wild acceptors? the hopeful sinners?
C D
The gentle teachers? The true forgivers?
G Em C
Les courageuses? Les amoureuses? les infants brave?
D
Les grand-mères jeunes? les luminuses…

[Chorus]
C D
If you’ve got love in your heart, But it’s way down in the dark
G Em
You better let it see the sun. This world is almost done.
C D
Grandma always told me love will conquer hate.
G
I don’t know if it’s too late.
Em
I don’t know if it’s too late.
C
Hey you, hey you!
D
Who you think I’m talking to?
G
Show ‘em what you got in your heart!

[Verse 2]
G Em
Blessings be upon the thief of my childhood,
C D
The ragged jackal, that loveless coward.

I’ll be a child in the garden

Ten thousand years and counting…
