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
