Metal & Wood by Tyrone Wells




           Metal & Wood 






Intro  Em / Bm / D / Em / x 6
 
Verse 1
             Em        Bm    D  Em
Take all the Metal and Wood
            Em     Bm   D  Em
Used in the waging war
              Em       Bm         D      Em
And teach the men that make those weapons
         Em      Bm      D    Em
To build shelter for the poor
 
Verse 2
Take all the money we spend
On the way that we appear
Find the ones that die of hunger

And help them to see another year
 
Chorus:
Em  Bm      D     Em
  Before we fade away
Em      Bm     D      Em
  Let's make a better day
Em     Bm         D       Em
  This world will keep on turning
  Em    Bm     D--          Em
  After we are gone... long gone.
 
Solo: Em / Bm / D / Bm / x 4
 
Verse 3
There is a forest I loved
Where the air was fresh and clean
We took the forest for a factory
So we could build some more machines
 
Verse 4
When I was young I learned to sing
And music blossomed in my soul
We took the music from the schools
And left the darkest, gaping holes.
 
Chorus:
Em    Bm       D        Em
Where will our children be?
Em Bm         D        Em
If they don't learn to see?
Em          Bm             D                   Em
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone
 
Bridge:
     Em      Bm    D                 Em
When we were young all the world was new
    Em      Bm        D              Em              Em
But soon we found the childhood fairytale were never true
 
Verse 5
And how the story ends depends on you and me
Where will our children be? If they don't learn to see?
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone
 
Outro:
Before we fade away
Let's make a better day
This world will keep on turning
After we are gone after you are gone.
Em    Bm     D--          Em
After we are gone... long gone.
