Verse 1:
Em        G
I've seen rivers red with blood
          C                   G
I've seen valleys filled with mud
G                       A7             D
I seen stormy seas that pound upon the shore
G

I've seen mountains strewn with bones
          C              G
I've seen people without homes
G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life

Chorus:
    D                        G    G/F#    Em
And as I see the fury of the fire and the flame
  A7                         D
I wonder if my children will have to see the same

Verse 2:
G
I've seen highways heading down
          C                   G
I've seen green grass turn to brown
G                         A7            D
I've seen forests burn a couple days or more
G
I've seen prairies filled with holes
          C                   G
I've seen good men sell their souls
G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life

Chorus:
    D                        G    G/F#    Em
And as I see the fury of the fire and the flame
  A7                         D
I wonder if my children will have to see the same

Verse 3:
G
I've seen rockets all ablaze
          C               G
I've seen dark and deadly days
G                           A7               D
I've seen cities bombed and butchered to the ground
G
I've seen battles by the score
            C          G
I've seen ten too many wars
G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life

Chorus:
    D                        G    G/F#    Em
And as I see the fury of the fire and the flame
  A7                         D
I wonder if my children will have to see the same

Verse 4:
G
I've seen rockets all ablaze
          C               G
I've seen dark and deadly days
G                           A7               D
I've seen cities bombed and butchered to the ground
G
I've seen battles by the score
            C          G
I've seen ten too many wars
G                     D             Em
And it's all with the passing of my life
G                     D             Em
