Key: C
C... F... C.. /b Am... C... F... C.. /b Am... C F When did this ballad go dark on us C /b Am and shift to a minor key C F when did the apple orchard bloom C Am and how come we didn't see Did you see Christ in his manger if so, what gifts did you bring think I sang with monks in a choir and found a magical ring When did the news start repeating when walls surround Jericho I tell you something that just happened you say that was decades ago
G Did you see it F did you see it E7 Am everything that washed away G E and how we twirled around for days G did you notice F did you care F C about the worlds burning? C... Am... F\A... C.. /b Am...
Did you see the first cities sprawling did you give Icarus wings think I heard Zarathustra calling I dined with Babylon's king When did the sky grow dark on us and shower us with acid rain when did the sky grow dark on us this was unforeseen How did summer turn to springtime without winter in between how can I hold it together I cannot do everything
Did you see it did you see it feel the fire in the forge? or was your blind spot too engorged? did you notice did you care or find salvation anywhere F... Dm... Am... Am\G... F... G... Am...
When did this ballad go dark on us and shift to a minor key when did the autumn leaves fall dead and how come we didn't see C... Am... F\A... C.. /b Am...
