Joe Purdy – New Years Eve chords

[Verse 1]
        C                  F          GWell, I wrote this song on New Year's Eve
C                     F    GThinking of days gone by
C               F               GDreaming of all good things to come
C                       F       GSinging that Auld Lang Syne


[Verse 2]
      C                    F           GAnd I hope this year won't be like the last
  C                       F    *I hope that my money will hold
  C                        F         GI hope that the days won't go by too fast
  C                          F  D7  G  G7 *I hope that my good gal will show


[Verse 3]
      C                  F           GAnd I hope I can be some use to this world
  C                        F *I won't be too prideful to try
C                         F          GRealize that sometimes it only takes one
          C                           F    GTo make a difference in another one's life


[Verse 4]
      C                   F          GAnd I hope I can find the courage to speak
             C                          F *When there's something that needs being said
      C                           F       GAnd I hope that my words will not tear us apart
             C              F   D7   G   G7 *But to bring people closer instead


[Verse 5]
      C                     F            GAnd I hope all this useless killing will stop
  C                          F *I hope that the hatred will slow
  C                        F        GI hope there's a calm come over the hand
       C                        F *Of the one's who have anger to show



[Verse 6]
      C                         F         GAnd I hope that the families displaced by war
       C                        F *Find a country so brave and so bold
   C                         F          GTo let down their guards and open their arms
       C                         F   D7   G   G7 *To the one's who have nowhere to go



[Verse 7]
      F                    GAnd I hope that the raging flood waters subside
       C                          Amand it rains on dry mountains and fiery hillsides
         F                    GThat the winds of change blow swift through our hearts
        C                           AmAnd we'll lay down our weapons, not fire the first shot
        F                           Gat the one's who march brave on the streets arm-in-arm
          C                          AmAnd their stories be told, and their causes live on
           F                           GAnd we'll right all our wrongs, put an end to our war
           C                                Amand we'll reach for compassion till there's bloodshed no more
        F                        GAnd we teach every child so they might rise above
        C                        Amand the power means nothing in a world without love


          FDon't cha see?
         GDon' cha see?
          C   F   C   G   CDon't cha see?
