Two Thousand Years Tab uke di Billy Joel

F
In the beginning
                Bb           C
there was the cold and the night
                Gm
Prophets and angels
             C             F
gave us the fire and the light
            Dm
Man was triumphant
                A dim          Bb  B dim
Armed with the faith and the will
                 Bb     F            C
That even the darkest ages couldn't kill

            F
Too many kingdoms
          Bb            C
Too many flags on the field
           Gm
So many battles
          C             F
So many wounds to be healed
            Dm
Time is relentless
          Adim     Bb  Bdim
Only true love perseveres
             F             Bb           Dm
It's been a long time and now I'm with you
       C             F
After two thousand years

              F
This is our moment
                Bb         C
Here at the crossroads of time
               Gm
We hope our children
            C              F
Carry our dreams down the line
                Dm
they are the vintage
              A dim         Bb  Bdim
What kind of life will they live?
            Bb          F              C
Is this a curse or a blessing that we give?

              F
Sometimes I wonder
           Bb          C
Why are we so blind to Fate?
            Gm
Without compassion
     C         F
there can be no end to hate
         Dm
No end to sorrow
       Adim         Bb  Bdim
caused by the same endless fears
              Bb        F       Dm
Why can't we learn from all we've been through
          C          F
after two thousand years?

 F
There will be miracles
   Bb        C
after the last war is won
     Gm
Science and poetry
    C            F
Rule in the new world to come
       Dm
Prophets and angels
    dim      Bb Bdim
gave us the power to see
   Bb F          C
what an amazing future there will be

      F
And in the evening
   Bb         C
after the fire and the light
Gm
One thing is certain
    C          F
nothing can hold back the night
    Dm
Time is relentless
   Adim   Bb  Bdim
and as the past disappears
     F        Bb         Dm
We're on the verge of all things new
       C       Bb     F
We are two thousand years
