LITTLE PEOPLE’S WAR –Joanne Rand 1/7/16
Key E5 (no 3rd), meter 6/8

TALE GOES ON FOREVER

OF A LITTLE PEOPLE’S WAR.

OR WHAT THEY’RE FIGHTING FOR?

AS CENTURIES ROLL FORWARD

AND IT’S BEEN THIS WAY FOREVER
SINCE GENGIS KHAN

DO YOU THINK IT’S HUMAN NATURE
C D
DO YOU THINK WE’LL EVER FIND
Em D G D Em D G D
PEACE OF MIND?
Em D G D Em D Em
PEACE OF MIND?
(pedal Em)
***
LEGEND GOES THERE IS A LIGHTHOUSE
STANDING BRAVELY ON A HILL
INSIDE AN ANCIENT STONE CIRCLE
OF PREHISTORIC SKILL.

RUMOR HAS IT ALL WHO SEEK THIS PLACE
ALREADY HOLD THE KEY
TO CLIMB INSIDE THAT SPIRAL
AND LIGHT THE LAMP OF PEACE.

DO YOU THINK IT’S HUMAN NATURE
DO YOU THINK WE’LL EVER FIND
PEACE OF MIND?
PEACE OF MIND?
(Instr.)
[[:Em /-/B/-/D/-/A/-/Am/-/Em/-/D/-/C/-:]]

THE LIGHT OF PEACE HAS BEEN SHINING –
D A
FOR EONS, IT SEEMS
Am Em
DO YOU THINK WE’LL EVER FIND IT
D C
IN THIS SPIDERWEB OF DREAMS?

WHEN THE WHITES OF OUR EYES
MEET THE WHITES OF THEIRS
CAN THERE BE UNDERSTANDING
IN THIS COMEDY OF ERRORS?

C E
CAN THE LIGHTHOUSE SHINE FOREVER
C D
WHILE WE BOMB OUR WORLD TO HELL
C E
CAN THERE BE A FUTURE
C D
ONLY FUTURE CAN TELL

C G
HOLD THE KEY

CLIMB INSIDE THE SPIRAL

LIGHT THIS LAMP WITH ME

G D
LET THE WORLD OUTLIVE THIS TALE

OF A LITTLE PEOPLE’S WAR
Em G
THE SEED OF HUMANKIND IS
Em G
KINDNESS TO THE CORE

G D
WHEN THE WHITES OF OUR EYES

MEET THE WHITE OF GOD
Em D C C
WE SHALL OUTLIVE THIS HUMAN FLOOD
