Two Thousand Years Billy Joel
Two Thousand Years -- Billy Joel
This is transposed into the key of G for ease of play -- the original is in F
In the beg[G]inning
there was the [G/B]cold [C]and the [D]night
Prophets and [Am]angels[Am7]
gave us the [C]fire [D]and the [G]light
F6 (xx3535)
Man was triumphant
Bdim (xx3434) Am C#dim (xx2323)
Armed with the faith and the will
That even the [G]darkest [C]ages couldn't [D]kill
Too many [G]kingdoms
Too many [G/B]flags [C]on the [D]field
So many [Am]battles[Am7]
So many [C]wounds [D]to be [G]healed
F6 (xx3535)
Time is relentless
Bdim (xx3434) Am C#dim (xx2323)
Only true love perseveres
It's been a [G]long time and [Em]now I[G/B]'m with [C]you
After [D]two thousand y[(G]ear[C]s[Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D] [G)]
This is our [G]moment
Here at the [G/B]cross[C]roads of [D]time
We hope our c[Am]hildren[Am7]
Carry our d[C]reams d[D]own the [G]line
F6 (xx3535)
they are the vintage
Bdim (xx3434) Am C#dim (xx2323)
What kind of life will they live?
Is this a [G]curse or a [C]blessing that we [D]give?
Sometimes I [G]wonder
Why are we [G/B]so [C]blind to [D]Fate?
Without compa[Am]ssion[Am7]
there can be [C]no [D]end to [G]hate
F6 (xx3535)
No end to sorrow
Bdim (xx3434) Am C#dim (xx2323)
caused by the same endless fears
Why can?t we l[G]earn from [Em]all [G/B]we?ve been [C]through
after [D]two thousand [(G]yea[C]rs[Em]?[D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D] [G)]
There will be [G]miracles
after the [G/B]last [C]war is [D]won
Science and [Am]poetry[Am7]
Rule in the [C]new [D]world to [G]come
F6 (xx3535)
Prophets and angels
Bdim (xx3434) Am C#dim (xx2323)
gave us the power to see
what an a[G]mazing [C]future there will [D]be
And in the [G]evening
after the [G/B]fire [C]and the [D]light
One thing is [Am]certain[Am7]
nothing can [C]hold [D]back the [G]night
F6 (xx3535)
Time is relentless
Bdim (xx3434) Am C#dim (xx2323)
and as the past disappears
We?re on the [G]verge [Em]of al[G/B]l things [C]new
We are [D]two thousand[(G] ye[C]ar[Em]s[D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D)] [(G] [C] [Em] [D] [G)]
