Joe Purdy - New years eve

Well, I ^Cwrote this song on ^FNew Year's ^GEve ^CThinking of days gone ^Fby ^{G C}Dreaming of all ^Fgood things to c^Gome ^CSinging that Auld Lang S^Fyne ^G

And I ^Chope this year won't ^Fbe like the ^Glast C F * I hope that my money will hold I ^Chope that the days won't ^Fgo by too ^Gfast C F D7 G G7 * I hope that my good gal will show

And I ^Chope I can be some ^Fuse to this ^Gworld C F * I won't be too prideful to try ^CRealize that sometimes it ^Fonly takes ^Gone To make a ^Cdifference in another one's ^Flife ^G

And I ^Chope I can find the ^Fcourage to ^Gspeak C F * When there's something that needs being said And I ^Chope that my words will not ^Ftear us ^Gapart C F D7 G G7 * But to bring people closer instead

And I ^Chope all this useless ^Fkilling will ^Gstop C F * I hope that the hatred will slow I ^Chope there's a calm come ^Fover the ^Ghand C F * Of the one's who have anger to show

And I ^Chope that the families dis^Fplaced by ^Gwar C F * Find a country so brave and so bold To ^Clet down their guards and ^Fopen their ^Garms C F D7 G G7 * To the one's who have nowhere to go

And I ^Fhope that the raging ^Gflood waters subside and it ^Crains on dry mountains and ^Amfiery hillsides That the ^Fwinds of change blow ^Gswift through our hearts And we'l^Cl lay down our weapons, not ^Amfire the first shot at the o^Fne's who march brave on the ^Gstreets arm-in-arm And their ^Cstories be told, and their ^Amcauses live on And we'll r^Fight all our wrongs, put an ^Gend to our war and we'll r^Ceach for compassion till there's ^Ambloodshed no more And we t^Feach every child so they ^Gmight rise above and the ^Cpower means nothing in a ^Amworld without love

Don't cha ^Fsee? Don' cha ^Gsee? Don't cha ^Csee?^{F C G C}
