Coversong
Originally made famous by Zager & Evans
Written by Rick Evans

Em    In the year 2525
D     If man is still alive
C                              B7
If woman can survive they may find

Em   In the year 3535
D    Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
C    Everything you think do and say
B7   Is in the pill you took today
Em   In the year 4545
D    You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes
C    You won't find a thing to chew
B7   Nobody's gonna look at you 
Em   In the year 5555
D    Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
C    Your legs got nothin' to do
B7   Some machine's doing that for you


In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a comin' He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgement day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again woh oh  / /  / /

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's takin' everything this old earth can give

and he ain't put back nothin'  woh oh

(very slowly - strum each chord once)
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
(faster)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
