DThree horses D/Dbgreazing D7out my window Gbrown black and white Dthey stand
Gwith rolling pastures Dthey can wander Afree and easy A7is their land-Al
Chorus:
GDon't ever Atake away Dour freedom Gdon't ever Atake Dit away Gwe must cherish
G/F#and keep Gthat one part Dof our lives Aand the rest we're gonna find
A7one of these days...
Done of these days
DI've always thought D/Dbthat I've seen D7in my own lifetime
Gan end into poverty Dinjustice and the wars Gbut now I've learned to that job
Dit's gonna take a long, long time Aso there's one thing A7that must endure
(chorus)
DWhen I'm old D/DbI'm thinking over D7this whole life that I have lived
Gif there is one final wish Dleft to me GI will pray for the children
Dyet to be born Aand I will pray that they'll A7always live free
(chorus)
GThere is a time Afor the singing Dand the sunshine
GThere is a time Afor the thunder Dand the rain
GThere's a time G/F#for the changing Gall the seasons Dmy friends
Abut there's one thing A7that must never ever change
(chorus)
Ending:
GAnd the rest Awe're gonna find Done of these days
