[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D][Am][Em]
Many [G]years ago

[Verse 1]
[D]he looked
[Am]out through a glass-less window
win[Em]dow
All [G]that he could see [D]was [Am]Babylon
Beauti[G]ful green fields and [D]dreams
He [Am]learned to measure [Em]the stars
But there [G]was a worry [D]in his heart
[Am]

[Verse 2]
He said
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
"I'm really worried about [D]living"[Am]
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
Yeah I really want to [D]know
[C]about this

[Verse 3]
[C][Am]
Then there [D]came [G]a time
[D]It moved [Am]out 'cross
the Mediter[Em]ranean
Came to [G]western isles
and the [D]Greek young [Am]men
With their sil[G]ver beards they [D]laughed
At the [Am]un known of the unive[Em]rse
They could [G]sit and [D]guess God's name
[Am]

[Verse 4]
But they said
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
"I'm really worried about [D]living"[Am]
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
Yeah, we really want to
[D]know [C]about this

[Verse 5]
[C]
Then there came [G]a time of King[D]s,
Em[A]pires [Am]and revo[Em]lutions
Blood just look[G]s the same
when you [D]open the [Am]vein
Sometimes it [G]was faith,
[D]power or [A]reason [Am]as the c[Em]ornerstone
But [G]the furrowed brow has
[D]never left his face
[A][Am]

[Verse 6]
He said
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
"I'm really worried about [D]living"[Am]
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
Yeah, I really want [D]to know [C]about this

[D][A][Am][Em][G][D][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
We were living in a [D]landslide[Am]
How could it [D]come to [Am]this?
Yeah, I really want to [D]know [C]about this

[Verse 8]
[C]
Then there [Am]came [G]a time,
[D]man packed [A]up
[Am]Moved off from the plan[Em]et
He [G]went to the moon
[D]To [Am]the moon
Now he's out [G]in space
[D]Hey, [A]fix[Am]ing all the prob[Em]lems
He [G]comes face to face [D]with God
[A][Am]

[Verse 9]
He says
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
"I'm really worried
'bout my [D]creation"[Am]
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?"
Yeah, I really want to [D]know [C]about this
