[Verse 1]
C F G
Well, I wrote this song on New Year's Eve
C F G
Thinking of days gone by
C F G
Dreaming of all good things to come
C F G
Singing that Auld Lang Syne
[Verse 2]
C F G
And I hope this year won't be like the last
C F *
I hope that my money will hold
C F G
I hope that the days won't go by too fast
C F D7 G G7 *
I hope that my good gal will show
[Verse 3]
C F G
And I hope I can be some use to this world
C F *
I won't be too prideful to try
C F G
Realize that sometimes it only takes one
C F G
To make a difference in another one's life
[Verse 4]
C F G
And I hope I can find the courage to speak
C F *
When there's something that needs being said
C F G
And I hope that my words will not tear us apart
C F D7 G G7 *
But to bring people closer instead
[Verse 5]
C F G
And I hope all this useless killing will stop
C F *
I hope that the hatred will slow
C F G
I hope there's a calm come over the hand
C F *
Of the one's who have anger to show
[Verse 6]
C F G
And I hope that the families displaced by war
C F *
Find a country so brave and so bold
C F G
To let down their guards and open their arms
C F D7 G G7 *
To the one's who have nowhere to go
[Verse 7]
F G
And I hope that the raging flood waters subside
C Am
and it rains on dry mountains and fiery hillsides
F G
That the winds of change blow swift through our hearts
C Am
And we'll lay down our weapons, not fire the first shot
F G
at the one's who march brave on the streets arm-in-arm
C Am
And their stories be told, and their causes live on
F G
And we'll right all our wrongs, put an end to our war
C Am
and we'll reach for compassion till there's bloodshed no more
F G
And we teach every child so they might rise above
C Am
and the power means nothing in a world without love
F
Don't cha see?
G
Don' cha see?
C F C G C
Don't cha see?
