FOR ALL MANKIND (J Christie)
1st verse
C Am
My childhood wasn't what you might call a success
F G
I was born in northern England in a time of strife and stress
C Am
The war was over and somebody said we'd won
F G
But I was too young to know all the damage that was done
Am F G
Now looking back, there are things that I recall
Am G F
I was frightened of the dark when I was small
C F G
They said it's over now at last
C F G
Think of the future not the past
Chorus
C G F C Am
And we will try, To build a new and better life
F C G
Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
C G F C Am
Yes we will strive, Now until the end of time
F C G
For the sake of you and I
F G C
And all mankind
F-G-C F-G-C
2nd verse
Sometimes I think of all the prizes we have won
But we are no richer now than before when we had none
I look around and I see ashes everywhere
Yet the madness still goes on, Doesn't anybody care
Though, on reflection, there are words that I still hear
Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere
No matter what the price may be
We must believe in sanity
Chorus
