VERSE 3:
E minorEm A minorAm
Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why'

There'll be war, there'll be peace, but everything one day will cease.
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
All the iron turned to rust; all the proud men turned to dust.
A minorAm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
So all things time will mend, so this song will end.
