Em              D                
Long ago, in a dusty village full
    C                 B
 of hunger, pain and strife,
Em                      D        
A man came forth with a vision of
             C
 truth and a way to a better
A      D
life.
Em                          G    
He was convinced he had the 
          C
answer and he compelled people to
         D
follow along.
         B                         
But the hunger never vanished, and 
    C         A
the man was banished, and
     C         D           Em    
the village dried up and died.

Em              D           
At a time when wise men peered 
            C
through glass tubes toward the
B
skies,
Em                         D     
The Heavens changed in 
            C
predictable ways and one man was 
able
     A     D
to find,
Em                                
That he had thought he'd found the
  G                 C
 answer and he was quick to
Continues after the ad
                  D
write his revelations.
        B                          
But as they were scrutinised in his
   C          A        C
 colleagues eyes, he soon
          D       Em        B C 
became a mockery.

[Chorus]
Em                       G  
Don't tell me about the answer 
                 C
'cause then another one will
            D
come along soon.
Em                            G  
I don't believe you have the 
     C               B
answer, I've got ideas too.
               C                 
But if you've got enough naiveté, 
  A
and you've got conviction,
           C            D      
Then 'The Answer' is perfect for 
     Em
you.

Em                      D        
An urban sprawl sits, choking on 
                 C
it's discharge, overwhelmed
         B
by industry,
Em                          D
Searching for a modern day saviour 
from another place,
C                      A   D
inclined toward charity
Em                       G  
Everyone begging for an answer 
             C               D
without regard to validity,

 B                                
The searching never ends, it goes 
C       A     C
on and on and on for
  D     Em       B C B C B C B C
eternity.
Em     C     G     D  (x2)
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

(Chorus)

      C           D         Em
The answer is perfect for youu!
