Cmaj7 Dm7/9
hang out the flags a new world order’s on the way
Cmaj7 Dm7/9
start singing now a song to greet the joyful day
G/A Fmaj7
just when we thought the time was right for celebrating
Dm7/9
with music of the spheres
Fmaj7
what’s this – another boat of fleeing refugees on
Dm7/9
a sea of children’s tears

G Am
once more the sound of crying
Dm7
is number one across the earth
G Am
once more the sound of crying
Dm7
is number one across the earth

Cmaj7 Dm7/9
we’re only men and women doing what we can
Cmaj7 Dm7/9
sometimes i think that god is working to a plan
G/A Fmaj7
then other times i swear that he is improvising
Dm7/9
discordant and remote
Fmaj7
another orphan baby in failed uprising
Dm7/9
another real bum note

G Am
once more the sound of crying
Dm7
is number one across the earth
G Am
once more the sound of crying
Dm7
is number one across the earth

Cmaj7 Dm7
and if you’re listening up there
Cmaj7 Dm7
you could consider this a prayer

G/A Fmaj7
well who Am i to tell you how to run your business
Dm7/9
man , you could strike me blind
Fmaj7
what kind of noise we gotta make down here before we
Dm7/9
destroy your peace of mind

G Am
once more the sound of crying
Dm7
is number one across the earth
G Am
once more the sound of crying
Dm7
is number one across the earth
