A little Dylan style 60's protest song

Shadow Of The Agesby KAP54


                               (harp intro)




I'm in the [C]shadow of the [Dm]ages and I'm [F]looking back in [C]time.


I see [C]people fighting [Dm]wars for the sur[F]vival of man[C]kind.


[F]Assassinations and [C]cover ups,every[F]one wants to be [C]king.


Should [C]I look to the [F]future Lord for [G7]something good to [C]sing.


                                  (harp)




I'm in the [C]shadow of the [Dm]ages and I'm [F]looking back in [C]time.


To [C]Kent State Uni[Dm]versity where [F]four young people [C]died.


They were [F]demonstrating [C]love and peace,they [F]wanted to be [C]free


Now [C]they will be re[F]membered Lord for [G7]they are truly [C]free.


                                 (harp)




I'm in the [C]shadow of the [Dm]ages and I'm [F]looking back in [C]time.


To [C]John and Bobby [Dm]Kennedy and the [F]reasons that they [C]died.


Then [F]there was Martin [C]Luther King, for these [F]three so many [C]cried.



A [C]fatal shot,red [F]blood runs hot, more [G7]questions left to [C]hide.


                                 (harp)




I,m in the [C]shadow of the [Dm]ages and I,m [F]looking back in [C]time.


Poli[C]ticians live the [Dm]lives of fools they [F]live there lives in [C]crime.


They [F]say that they'll do [C]good for man, they,ll [F]clean and wash the [C]land.


But [C]when it comes there [F]time for work they [G7]turn and wash there [C]hands.


                                 (harp)


                             slower tempo




I,m in the [C]shadow of the [Dm]ages but I'm [F]looking into [C]time.


I [C]wonder whats in [Dm]store for us will the [F]church bells always [C]chime.


[F]Global war is [C]at our shore, life's [F]misery will [C]bring.


Should [C]I look to the [F]future Lord for [G7]something good to [C]sing


                                (harp)
