afford so many things?

when i was young

'a little love and affection
G                 C
in everything you do

G
slammin' down a late night shot
C                         G
the hero and the artist compared
                         D
goals and visions and afterthoughts
C
for the 21st century

G
but mostly came up with nothin'
C                           G
so the truth was never learned
                              D          C
and the human race just kept rollin' on

G                     C
rollin' through the fighting
G                              C
rollin' through the religious wars
G                       C
rollin' down the temple walls
                         G
and the church's exposed sores

D*
rollin' through the fighting
C
the religious wars
D*
mostly came up with nothin'
C   D* C  D* C

G
"grandpa here's your glasses
C                       G
you'll see much better now,"
G                         D                C*
said that young girl of edith and earl's
G
but grandpa just kept starin'
C                             G
he was lost in some distant thought

then he turned and said
                D        C Csus2 C
to that young girl

G                     C
"a little love and affection
G                 C
in everything you do
G                             C
will make the world a better place
                 G
with or without you"
D*
with or without you
C
a better place
D*
with or without you
C
with or without you
D*   C
G
hear that rooster crowin'
C
down on the double e

it's a new morning
D                C*
dawning on the green
G
bouncing off the towers
C
and the sun's heading down for the streets

the business meeting
D                    C*
window shades are drawn

G                 C
another morning edition
G                C
headed for the porch
G                              C
because grandma puts down the paper
                           G
before grandpa raises his fork

D*
a little love and affection
C
in everything you do
D*             C
A Better Place
D*
hear the rooster crowing
C
down on the double e
G Gsus  G Gsus  G Gsus  G
