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!
