For Future Generations - Chords

[Printable version]

VERSE 1: 
G               Em                D    G
The signs are obvious, they are everywhere 
C            Em                G          D
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair 
G                     Em                    C         G
Too many would be prophets sayin’ "It’s the end of it all" 
       C             D
‘Cause Mother earth can’t take much more 
     Em             D
The hammer’s gonna fall 

G         Em                         D        G
So nature has it’s needs, that’s a lesson learned 
C         Em                    G           D
But it appears to me there are greater concerns 
       G               Em
‘Cause we can save the planet 
                    C        G 
Thinkin’ we will somehow survive 
    C                D            Em             D
But Father time is calling us to save somebody’s life, so 
 
 
CHORUS:
        G
I won’t bend and I won’t break 
         Em
I won’t water down my faith 
          C              D              G
I won’t compromise in a world of desperation 
         
What has been I cannot change 
          Em
But for tomorrow and today 
       C                D           G
I must be a light for future generations. 
 
 
VERSE 2:
G             Em              D        G
If we could find a way to preserve our faith 
C             Em                G             D
So those who follow us, see the price that was paid 
      G               Em
Then maybe when they question 
                 C        G
What it’s gonna take to survive 
        C                    D
They’ll find the strength to carry on 
   Em               D
In what we leave behind 
 

(REPEAT CHORUS) 
 
 
BRIDGE:
Em              D
Lookin’ in the eyes of the children 
 C            D            Em
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake 
          G
When the choice is up to them 
                    C          D
Will they have the strength to say 
 

CHORUS 2: 
         G
We won’t bend and we won’t break 
          Em
We won’t water down our faith 
           C              D             G
We won’t compromise in a world of desperation 
 
What has been we cannot change 
           Em
But for tomorrow and today 
        C                D           G
We must be a light for future generations 
 

(REPEAT) 
 
        C                D           G
We must be a light for future generations 
             C                D           G 
Yes, we must be a light for future generations 
        C                D           G
We must be a light for future generations 
      D           G
For future generations
