IS IT LIKE TODAY
World Party
Many years a-[G]-go [D]
he
Looked [Am] out through a glassless window
All that he could [G] see was [D] Baby-[Am]-lon
Beautiful green [G] fields and [D] dreams
And [Am] learn to measure the stars
But there was a [G] worry [D] in his [Am] heart
He said, [Em] How could it come to [C] this?
I'm really [Em] worried about [C] living
[Em] How could it come to [C] this?
Yeah I [Em] really want to know about [C] this
Is it like to-[G]-day? [D][Am]
Then there came a [G] day
[D] He moved [Am] out
'cross the Mediterranean
Came to western [G] isles and the [D] Greek young [Am] men
And with their silver [G] beards they [D] laughed
At the [Am] unknown of the universe
They could just [G] sit and [D] guess God's [Am] name
But they said, [Em] How could it come to [C] this?
We're really [Em] worried about [C] living
[Em] How could it come to [C] this?
Yeah we [Em] really want to know about [C] this
Is it like to-[G]-day? [D][Am]
Then there followed [G] days of kings, [D] empires and revo-[Am]-lutions
Blood just looks the [G] same when you [D] open the [Am] veins
But sometimes it was [G] faith, [D] power or [Am] reason as the cornerstone
But the furrowed [G] brow has never [D] left his [Am] face
He said [Em] how could it come to [C] this?
We've been [Em] living in a land-[C]-slide
[Em] How could it come to [C] this?
Yeah we [Em] really want to know about [C] this
Is it like to-[G]-day? [D][Am]
Then there came a [G] man, packed [D] up, [Am] flew off from the planet
He went to the [G] moon, [D] to the [Am] moon.
Now he's out in [G] space, [D] hey, [Am] fixing all the problems.
He comes face to [G] face [D]
with [Am] God.
[Em] How could it come to [C] this?
I'm really [Em] worried about my crea-[C]-tion.
[Em] How did it come to [C] this?
You're really [Em] killing me you [C] know.
It isn't just to-[G]-day? [D][Am]
Is it like to-[G]-day? [D][Am]
Is it like to-[G]-day? [D][Am]
Bang!
