Am                C
I’ll tell you a little story
 G                  F
I’ll tell about how it changes
 Am            C
Men got all the glory
 G                   F
Rhythm is a place of freedom but if
 Am        C
They don’t know
 G            F
Then they won’t grow
 Am           C     G                F
The seeds we sow, are far from nourished
  F                      Am
Hard times yeah, but we’ve seen it all before
  F                     C
Hard times yeah, not running anymore
  F                     Am
Hard times yeah, get yourself up off the floor
  F
It’s our time yeah


[Chorus]
                            Am
Can you hear the drums of war, war, war? (recollect)
                            F
Tell me what you know about war, war, war.

[Verse 2]
    Am                 C
You ain’t gotta speak my language
G                  F
   Cause you know what I mean
  Am                      C
I’m gonna make you understand it
  G                  F
And Know that you feel it too
  Am          C
If they don’t know
 G                F
Then how would they grow?
 Am             C   G
It’s time to show, it's time to
  F
Stand up, nourish, flourish
 F                  Am
Hard times yeah, but we’ve seen it all before
 F                   C
Hard times yeah, not running anymore
 F                     Am
Hard times yeah, pick yourself up off the floor
 F
It’s our time yeah
