Standard (EADGBE)

Jack you?ve spelling wrong for so long, now I?m so tired

The only thing you can go and do is get yourself fired

 And with your pay cheque, just like the last one

 When tonight through it will be gone so will I

Intro. (repeat twice) : A / C#m / A7 / D / Dm / Dm / A / A

This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through

I?ve had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you

Tell me am I dreaming as I look around

We can?t afford a descent life for those with their feet on the ground

Chorus

  I feel it my duty to try and pass it on

  This wisdom of the word

  I understand the nature of life

  As well as any soul left living, as well as any man still alive

He said there?s an answer for a hundred years or two

He came in a dream one night, wisdom morning come to a fuse

This is been a long life now mine is nearly through

And if I?d have the my again I?d spend it all with you

Chorus

Bridge

Dreams exist in dreamland, my passion fails to show

My eyes no longer sparkle, desire begins to slow

Confirm peace is beyond my imagination

It?s your life they demand for little appreciation

It?s all well and good when it?s understood, we can beat them if we try

It?s all well and good when it?s understood, we can beat them if we try

Solo

A / A / C#m / C#m / A7 / A 7

  If we try

This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through

I?ve had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you

This is been a long life now mine is nearly through

And if I?d have my time again I?d spend it all with you

Everyone will be together to hear the word to the wise
