         F#m
It was a slow day
        F#m6
And the sun was beating
       F#m                         E
On the soldiers by the side of the road
                   F#m
There was a bright light
  F#m6
A shattering of shop windows
    F#m         E
The bomb in the baby carriage
    D2
Was wired to the radio, and

E                      Dsus2
 These are the days of miracle and wonder
E                          Dsus2
 This is the long-distance call
E                   Dsus2
 The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
E           Dsus       B
 The way we look to us all
C#m                   B4     
 The way we look to a distant constellation
       E/G#                     D2
That's dying in a corner of the sky
F#m                    E5          D5
 These are the days of miracle and wonder
    E5               D2
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

             F#m
It was a dry wind
       E
And it swept across the desert
       D6                        C#m
And it curled into the circle of birth
        F#m
And the dead sand
E
Falling on the children
    D6
The mothers and the fathers
        B
And the automatic earth

Lasers in the jungle somewhere
E                    Bm7/D
 Staccato signals of constant information
  A/C#                        B
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires, and, baby
