Some say that mankind won't long endure
Em7         A         D          D
But what makes them feel so doggone sure?
G           G         D          D

Until we have no, no more to give

And when these fingers can strum no longer
Em7         A         D          D
Hand the old guitar to young ones stronger
Bm7         G         D          D
And when these fingers can strum no longer
Em7         A         D          D
Hand the old guitar to young ones stronger

We still can have singing tomorrow

We still can have singing tomorrow
