Verse 1:
Bb majorBb
I wasted my twenties in submission
Bb majorBb
I thought I was outside the system
Bb majorBb
But I was rolling over for wealth and power
   Eb MajorEb           FF
As if they really cared about me
  Bb majorBb
The kids are just getting started

They've only just learned how to howl

And most of them throw in the towel
Eb MajorEb                  FF
'Bout the time that they turn twenty-three
  G minorGm              DmDm
If you've got the taste for transcendence
   G minorGm            DmDm
That translates your love into action
  G minorGm         DmDm
And participate in the fight now
   Eb MajorEb          FF
For a creed you can truly believe

Chorus:
   Bb majorBb      FF    Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
It is time for the evening prayer
    G minorGm     FF    G minorGm     Eb MajorEb
Time to do justice for the poor
   Bb majorBb      FF    Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
It is time for the evening prayer
G minorGm         FF    Eb MajorEb
Time to do justice for the poor

Bb majorBb

Verse 2:
 Bb majorBb
Tonight you've got fire in your bloodstream
Bb majorBb
If your frail human heart is still pumping
Bb majorBb
Then make this one night you'll remember
Eb MajorEb          FF
A augmentedA note you deliver by hand
  Bb majorBb
And when you get up in the morning

Let no man return it to sender
  G minorGm          DmDm
And pour gasoline on the embers
G minorGm            DmDm
Keep yourself a physical record
  G minorGm          DmDm
Deliver that fire to the real world
  Eb MajorEb           FF
And tell 'em that E MajorE Furman sent ya


Chorus:
   Bb majorBb      FF    Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
It is time for the evening prayer
    G minorGm     FF    G minorGm   Eb MajorEb
Time to do justice for the poor
   Bb majorBb      FF    Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
It is time for the evening prayer
    G minorGm     FF    G minorGm   Eb MajorEb
Time to do justice for the poor

Bb majorBb
