vamp: D2 Bm7sus Em7 A7sus G/A A A/D [ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ] D Bm7sus I believe there is a place where people live in perfect peace Em7sus Where there is food on every plate G/A A A/D Where work is rewarded and rest is sweet D Bm7sus Where the color of your skin won't get you in or keep you out Em7sus Where justice reigns and truth finally wins G/A A Its hard fought war against fear and doubt Bm And everyone I know wants to go there too Gmaj7 But when I ask them to do it they seem so confused Em7 D/F# Do I turn to the left, do I turn to the right G6 G/A A When I turned to the world they gave me this advice Chorus: D They said, boy you just follow your heart Bm But my heart just led me into my chest Em7sus They said follow your nose D/F# G G/A But the direction changed every time I went and turned my head A D And they said, boy you just follow your dreams Bm But my dreams were only misty notions Em7sus D/F# But the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses G A7sus A VAMP And the Giver of dreams, He's the One I have chosen and I will follow Him I believe there'll come a time; Lord, I pray it's not too far off There'll be no poverty or crime And there'll be no greed and we'll learn how to love The children will be safe in their homes There'll be no violence out on the street The old will not be left alone And the strong will learn how to care for the weak And everyone I know hopes it comes real soon But when I ask 'em where I find it they seem so confused Do I find it in the day, do I find it in the night? When I finally ask the world they give me this advice CHORUS A7sus A ...He's the One I have chosen B /A# /G# /F# And oh, I hear the voice of a million dreams E B/D# Then I wake in the world that I'm partly made of E F#7sus F# And the world that is partly my own making D2 /C# /B /A And oh, I hear the song of a heart set free Em7 D2/F# That will not be kept down by the fury and sound G A7sus A7 A/B B7 Of a world that is wasting away but keeps saying CHORUS (in E) coda: E C#m7sus F#m7 E/G# A A/B B [ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ] repeat CODA ad lib and fade
