Where Are They Now

C

[Verse]
         Bb             F       C
Man said nature was his mother
       G/B           D
Made a promise at his birth
          Dm                            F
But she's running like a hunted fox for cover
        Bb            C
All across the earth

[Verse]
           Bb              F           C
The forest turned into the tall ships
                G/B               D
And though they fought for England well
    Dm                            F
The emptiness is ringing down the ages
           Bb         F
Like a hollow bell

[Chorus]
      C        Bb     F
Where are they now?
    C    Bb
Old mysteries
    F     C         Eb       Bb     F
The high ideas of a thousand years
    C           Bb  Eb Bb  F
All lost on the breeze..
      C        Bb     C
Where are they now?

[Verse]
       Bb             F         C
Asking wonders of our children
      G/B             D
Blind faith in all the rules
        Dm                            F
But the blind lead the blind from the cradle
                 Bb          C
Through the faith of fools

[Verse]
        Bb            F         C
One son gone unto the merchant
        G/B          D
Another to the bishop went
 Dm                               F
Another son to serve the king and country
         Bb        F
In some regiment

[Chorus]
      C        Bb    F
Where are they now?
    C    Bb
Old mysteries
    F     C         Eb       Bb     F
The high ideas of a thousand years
    C           Bb  Eb Bb  F
All lost on the breeze..
      C        Bb     F
Where are they now?

[Bridge]
      C        Bb
Where are they now?

Bb  F  C  Eb  Bb  F  C  Bb   F

      C        Bb     C
Where are they now?

[Verse]
      Bb             F       C
Every year in late December
         G/B          D
Hark the herald angels sing
       Dm                                  F
In the church, words of peace on earth are spoken
                 Bb         F
It doesn't change a thing

[Chorus]
      C        Bb    F
Where are they now?
    C    Bb
Old mysteries
    F     C         Eb       Bb     F
The high ideas of a thousand years
    C           Bb  Eb Bb  F
All lost on the breeze..

[Chorus]
      C        Bb    F
Where are they now?
    C    Bb
Old mysteries
    F     C         Eb       Bb     F
The high ideas of a thousand years
    C           Bb  Eb Bb  F
All lost on the breeze..
      C        Bb    F
Where are they now?
      C        Bb    F
Where are they now?
      C        Bb
Where are they now?
