NOTE: When playing this song I would suggest you use a `plucking`
      style of playing at times. A good example is in the Intro.
      I tried to show one way of playing that. It is hard to show
      this sometimes in a chord tab but I think I gave a good
      example how to do this. There is a good use of hammer-one
      and sus chords played throughout. I can not indicate where
      they are all played but do not be afraid to use them. I am
      mainly just going to put the basic chords played throughout
      In this song. I believe that you can play this very well if
      you do as I stated previously.

VERSE: (play at times like INTRO)
N.C.            *A  Asus4
Times like these
Asus4                  A
Make me wanna get down on my knees
Asus4                   A
Pray to heaven someone help us, please
 E              A  Asus4
Find our way again

E            *A   Asus4
 Times like this
Asus4                 A
When it looks as dark as it can get
Asus4                A
I just wanna give it up and quit
E            A   Asus4  A  Asus4
 I remember when


CHORUS:
E                     A
 We were marchin` on Washington
Asus4            A
Singin` we shall overcome
E                      A
 Had a dream and the dream lives on
        Asus4     A       E  Esus4 E
But we still got miles to go

E               *A  Asus4
In times like these
Asus4                     A
  I look behind us and I can`t believe
Asus4                        F#m
 How far we traveled and the web we weave
E                     A  Asu4
 Through times like these


VERSE:
E               *A  Asus4
 And days like this
Asus4                      A
  I can`t help but wonder what we missed
Asus4                      A
Thought we finally had it made now it`s
E                 A  Asus4
 Getting tough again

E            *A  Asus4
 Oh one fine day
Asus4
  A change wllL come
           A
No matter what they say
D                      A
We might shed a tear along the way
 E                 A  Asus4  A  Asus4
When we`re rememberin`


BREAK:
E                   A
 Gun trucks in the Belfast streets
       Asus4                  A
And the war they swore would never cease
 E                           A
The day they said that we`d never see
         Asus4    A     E  Esus4 E
When they set Mandela free


VERSE:
 E              *A  Asus4
And times like these
Asus4                 A
Can`t see the forest for the trees
Asus4                      F#m      A
Heard it said that love is all you need
E                A  Asus4  A  Asus4
 In times like these


INSTRUMENTAL/ HARMONICA:
E  A  D  A  E  A  D  E  E


OUTRO:
 E          *A   Asus4
Times like these
Asus4                  A
Make me wanna get down on my knees
Asus4                   A
Pray to heaven someone help us, please
  E                  A
Through times like these
