Is It Like Today

INTRO: G  D  Am

            G  D         Am      
Many years ago he looked out 
                Em
through a glassless window
                  G       D   Am
All that he could see was Babylon
                G          D      
Beautiful green fields and dreams 
    Am                   Em
and learn to measure the stars
                G     D      Am
But there was a worry in his heart


CHORUS:

He said,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about 
this"


                  G    D        
Then there came a time it moved 
Am                    Em
out 'cross the Mediterranean
                G             D   
Came to western isles and the 
        Am
Greek young men
                 G           
With their silver beards they 
 D              Am          
laughed at the unknown of the 
   Em
universe
                G       D         
They could just sit and guess 
  Am
god's name


CHORUS:

But they said,

              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about 
this"


                  G       D      
Then there came a time of Kings, 
Am              Em
Empires and revolution
             G                     
Blood just looks the same when you 
D        Am
open the vein
                G       D        
Sometimes it was faith, power or 
Am            Em
reason as the cornerstone
                G         D       
But the furrowed brow has never 
       Am
left his face


CHORUS:

He says,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                         D       C
Yeah, I really want to know about 
this"


INSTRUMENTAL:    G  D  Am  Em  G

  D  Am   (2x)


CHORUS:
              D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D   Am
We've been living in a landslide
              D       Am
How could it come to this?
                         D       C
Yeah, I really want to know about 
this


                  G     D          
Then there came a time, man packed 
Am                     Em
up, moved off from the planet
              G      D      Am
He went to the moon, took a load
                G      D        
Now he's out in space, hey-hey, 
Am             Em
fixing all the problems
          G           D    Am
He comes face to face with god


CHORUS:

He says,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?
                          D     Am
I'm really worried about my creation
             D       Am
How could it come to this?
                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about 
this"
