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

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

[Chorus]

Em                       G                   C
Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will
            D
come along soon.

Em                            G       C               B
I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too.
               C                   A
But if you've got enough naiveté, and you've got conviction,
           C            D           Em
Then 'The Answer' is perfect for you.

Em                      D                         C
An urban sprawl sits, choking on 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               C               D
Everyone begging for an answer without regard to validity,

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