Hope Is Just Ahead

Intro: D

            D         D7          
I wondered why I had    the blues,
             G
     so I turned on the evening  
news
                   A          
Children runnin' from their    
                          D
school, because of some damn fool 
had no morals he must   prove

          D            D7         
Another kid laid   in the blood,  
       G
 another town drowned     in the 
flood
                A               
Just a tragic trail of    tears, 
lessons not learned through the 
  D
years, heaven save us from our     
fears

Hope is just    ahead, sorrows just 
behind us
              A              D
From what the good book   says, "The
 truth will   never find us"
     D/E          D/F#         
Who's to      say what       we 
G                      G/A       
shall    find, I guess the proof for
Bm
     sure in     time
                     A             
Today, let's keep the dreamer's    
       D
faith, surely hope is just   ahead

        D                  D   G 
           Yeah, you gotta 
                 G
believe,       gotta keep your faith
        A              A  D      
          Get down on your knees 
       D
     you gotta believe

            D            D7       
People fightin' in    the streets,
            G
    millions with no food    to eat
                A                  
How much longer can we last,    if 
                       D
we learn nothing from our past, 
these are the questions    that I 
ask

faith, surely hope is just ahead
