The Byrds    From A Distance        written by Julie Gold

D                   G           A        D

From a distance the world looks blue and green
        G           A          D
And the snow capped mountains white
D                   G     A         D
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
        G     A        D
And the eagle takes to flight
       G        A           Bm
From a distance there is harmony
       G      D         A
And it echoes thru the land
         G        D             G        D
It's the voice of hope it's the voice of peace
G                 A     D  G
It's the voice of every man
       D        G      A        D      G      A     D
From a distance we all have enough and no one is in need
                  G        A     Bm   G         A          D
There are no guns no bombs no disease no hungry mouths to feed
       G        A      Bm                   G    D      A
From a distance we are instruments marching to a common band
        G        D            G         D
Playing songs of hope playing songs of peace
            G        A     D
They're the songs of every man
       G        A         Bm                 G           A
God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us from
   D
a distance
       D        G        A       D           G         A

From a distance you look like my friend even though we are at
D
war
                G       A      Bm       G        A       D
From a distance I can't comprehend what all this war is for
       G        A        Bm             G      D         A
From a distance there is harmony and it echoes thru the land
         G       D               G       D              G
It's the hope of hopes it's the  love of loves it's the heart
   A     Bm
of every man
         G       D               G       D              G
It's the hope of hopes it's the  love of loves it's the soul
   A     D
of every man
