Dangerous Times

G C G C


[Verse 1]
       G                   C
We are living in dangerous times
              G                            C
And all God's children have learned how to fight
               G                           C
Shedding their young blood, shedding their tears
                 G                     C
They can’t go on living their lives in fear

[Verse 2]
                      G                C
They’ve watched their empires rise and fall
          G                          C
Ghostly reflections through crumbled walls
        G                        C
So many innocents tried to stand tall
           G                          C
Only to be knocked down, battered and scarred


[Chorus]
D             C      D                  C
 Someone will conquer, and someone will die
D                       C                             D
 Some of them will just turn their heads and turn away
                                  G    C G C
And turn away, in these dangerous times


[Verse 3]
                G                     C
A bustle in the kitchen to get supper on
             G                     C
The radio is playing some familiar song
                  G                    C
There’s a lover’s quarrel, with the TV on
               G                     C
They’re all unaware of injustice and wrong


[Chorus]
D             C        D                C
 Someone will conquer, and someone will die
D                       C                             D
 Some of them will just turn their heads and turn away, oh...

[Bridge]
Am                                    C                    G    D
  Don’t you think it’s time to tell a nation this can’t be right?
Am                                          C                        G   C G C G C
  Or did someone kill the white dove in the name of justice, or sacrifice?


[Verse 4]
           G                           C
All stands quiet in Tienanman Square today
           G                          C
No sign of trouble, no flowers on the graves
          G                  C
No raging voices, no sign of changing
           G                                 C
No sign of anything, but their blood-stained message remains


[Verse 5]
       G                   C
We are living in dangerous times
              G                            C
And all God's children have learned how to fight
               G                           C
Shedding their young blood, shedding their tears
                 G                     C
They can’t go on living their lives in fear


[Verse 6]
       G                   C
We are living in dangerous times
              G                            C
And all God's children have learned how to fight
               G                           C
Shedding their young blood, shedding their tears
                 G                     C
They can’t go on living their lives in fear
