Phil Ochs - How Long Lyrics
Pre> b em c7 d emHow long, how long can we go onF# g bHow long, how long can we go on,C dThis troubled land may never lastC d emThere is no future in the pastHow far, how far have we goneHow far, how far have we gone,So many battles without a gain (so many struggles have we lost)So many young men lost in vain. (so many men on the cross)*chorus*G dWhy the fear of the coming of the morning?G emWhy the trembling at the call?G dCant we hear the final warning,C emCant we see the writing on the wall?So many years before the dawn,So many years before the dawn,So many children have never grownSo many cannonballs have flown.(so many dogs have hid their bone)So many rains have had to fall,So many rains have had to fall,So many storms before the floodSo many rainbows red with blood.Why the fear of the comin of the morning?Why the trembling at the call?Cant we hear the final warning?Cant we see the writing on the wall?How long, how long can we go onHow long, how long can we go on,This troubled land may never lastThere is no future in the past. /pre>
