Changing Hands Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, a million marching armies and
[G]a million marching men
[D]Have won the dark -skinned countries
[Em]and lost them back [A]again
But now [D]the word has gone to
[G]every fallen land
[D]That this old world is changing hands
From [G]the master to the servant, from
the [D]owner to the slaves
Colonial days are buried in a
deep [A]and dirty grave
It's so [D]easy to see and
[G]well to understand
[D]That this old world is changing hands
Hey,
Washington and
Jefferson and
[G]Patrick
Henry [D]too
They knew what they were doing
when [Em]they started something new
[A]It was[D] in this giant land
of ours [G]that it all [D]began
When this old world [A]was changing [D]hands
From the master [G]to the servant,
from [D]the owner to the slave
Colonial days are buried
in a deep [Em]and dirty [A]grave
It's [D]so easy to see and
[G]well to understand
[D]That this old [A]world is [D]changing hands
Hey, when
World
War
II was rolling by,
the [G]tide was on its [D]way.
Many countries had to listen to
[Em]the words they [A]had to say.
An[D]d the word was spread to millions,
all [G]of yellow, black, and [D]tan, that this old [A]world
was [D]changing hands.
From the master [G]to the servant, from the owner [D]to the slaves,
colonial days are buried in
[Em]a deep and dirty [A]grave.
It's [D]so easy to see an
[G]d well to [D]understand
That this old [A]world is changing [D]hands
Now
Africa and
Asia and the
Carib[G]bean shores
[D]No longer can be counted
as [Em]the spoils of
[A]the wars
They [D]were bought and sold together,
now togeth[G]er
they will [D]stand,
cause this old [A]world is changing [D]hands.
From the [G]master to the servant,
from the [D]owner to the slave,
Colonial days are buried in a
[Em]deep and dirty [A]grave.
It's so [D]easy to see and
[G]well to understand
[D]that this old [A]world is changing [D]hands,
that this old [A]world is changing [D]hands.
