[Verse 1]
Em
When I was a boy there's a
D
dream that I had. That a
Em
war if it's fought was for
D
good against bad. And I
Em
woke up to find that the
Bm
world had gone mad; and we'd
A
all fall
D
down

[Verse 2]
Em
And I feel like a child again
D
sitting observing
Em
You're toying with power,
D
your fingers are burning
Em
You're pushing so hard that the
Bm
worms won't be turning
A
We'll all fall
D
down

[Verse 3]
Em
While you try to pretend you're a
D
god upon high ,With your
Em
party ideals and your
D
squeaky clean lies
Em
When it comes to the crunch
Bm
you're not smarter than I
A
And we'll all
D
fall down

[Break]

[Verse 4]
Em
If it's colour or creed or your
D
old time religion
Em
Well fighting for that shows a
D
pure lack of vision
Em
The fight that we strive is the
Bm
fight to survive
A
And we'll all
D
fall down

[Verse 5]
Em
Well look in the mirror and
D
what do you see
Em
An American, Russian, a 
D
soldier or me
Em
When you've all pressed the buttons
Bm
just where will you be
A
And we'll all
D
fall down

[Break]

[Verse 6]
Em
It gets harder to see just what 
D
future's in store for us
Em
Hard to see through all the  
D
wool you pull over us
Em
Words that you give are just
Bm
words to console us
A
When we all
D
fall down

[Verse 7]
Em
And what will you do when you've
D
pulled the release
Em
When the sound of the thunder has
D
drowned out the pleas
Em
Cos after all that was your
Bm
idea of peace
A
When we all
D
fall down

[Break]
| Am  C | G  Em | Am  C | G  Am |

[Verse 8]
Em
No sun for a world that
D
once stood so tall
Em
No wind's going to blow and
D
no rain's going to fall
Em
No flowers for graves, in fact
Bm
no graves at all
A
When we all
D
fall down
