BJH - Fifties Child
Track #1, Ring Of Changes, 1983
[E] Love was a lesson [A]we tried to learn
[E] There were no exams [F#m7]to pass or fail
[E]Life was a lesson [A]we've tried to learn
[E]There were no tests to pass, no [F#m7]license to gain
Renew our [B]faith, let us [A]see
Fifties [B]child was [A]right to believe
Peace and [B]love were our [A]needs
[E]War is a lesson [A]we've had to learn
[E]We had to learn to kill, to [F#m7]destroy and burn
But our [A]spirits cry, renew our [E]faith
[E]Peace is a lesson [A]we've yet to learn
[E] A prize for all mankind who [F#m7]race for the gain
Renew our [B]faith, let us [A]see
Fifties [B]child was [A]right to believe
Peace and [B]love were our [A]needs
Renew our [B]faith, let us [A]see
Young and [B]old we're [A]right to believe
Peace and [B]love are our [A]needs
