For Future Generations

Intro:

C  Dm  G  C


Verse 1:

F              C/E           
The signs are obvious; they are 
    G    C
everywhere
F           C/E                 
All that we hear about is the 
C        D/F#
gloom and despair
     F              C/E           
Too many would be prophets sayin’ 
          G/B       C
it’s the end of it all
         F                 G      
‘Cause mother earth can’t take 
           Am             G
much more; the hammer’s gonna fall


Verse 2:

F         C/E                    
So nature has its needs, that’s a
   G      C
 lesson learned
F        C/E                
But it appears to me there are 
     C        D
greater concerns
        F               C/E  
‘Cause we can save the planet, 
                    G/B      C
thinkin’ we will somehow survive
      Am             G         
But father time is calling us to 
   Am              G
save somebody’s life


Chorus 1:

            C
So I won’t bend and I won’t break
Continúa después del anuncio
         Am
I won’t water down my faith
          F              G     
I won’t compromise in a world of 
        C    G
desperation
          C
What has been I cannot change
          Dm7
But for tomorrow and today
       F                 G 
I must be a light for future 
       C      Am   G
generations


Verse 3:

F           C/E              G  
If we could find a way to 
        C
preserve our faith
F             C/E               
So those who follow us see the 
C              D
price that was paid
       F               C/E        
Then maybe when they question what
            G/B       C
 it’s gonna take to survive
         Am                   G   
They’ll find the strength to carry
        Am             G
 on in what we leave behind


[Repeat Chorus 1]


Bridge:

F
Lookin’ in the eyes of the children
C/E
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
Am
When the choice is up to them
                     G/B
Will they have the strength to say


Chorus 2:  (key change up a half 
step)

          C#
We won’t bend and we won’t break
          A#m
We won’t water down our faith
           F#             G#      
We won’t compromise in a world of 
     C#    G#
desperation
          C#
What has been we cannot change
          D#m7
But for tomorrow and today
        F#              G#  
We must be a light for future 
      C#
generations
