lyrics from reprint of 1966 sheet music
C F G7sus G7 When the world and I were young just yesterday.
C F G G7 Life was such a simple game a child could play.
F G7 C It was easy then to tell
G Right from wrong
Am Easy then to tell
Em Weak from strong,
F C Am When a man should stand and fight
Dm Em F6 G Or just go along.
F C Am But today there is no day or night
Dm G7 C Today there is no dark or light
F G Am G F Today there is no black or white
C F G7sus G7 Only shades of gray.
C F G7sus G7 I remember when the answers seemed so clear,
C F G G7 We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
F G7 C It was easy then to tell
G Truth from lies
Am Selling out
Em From compromise
F C Am Who to love and who to hate
Dm Em F6 The foolish from the wise.
F C Am But today there is no day or night
Dm G7 C Today there is no dark or light
F G Am G F Today there is no black or white
C F G7sus G7 Only shades of gray.
C It was easy then to know
G What was fair
Am When to keep
Em And when to share
F C Am How much to protect your heart
Dm Em F6 And how much to care.
F C Am But today there is no day or night
Dm G7 C Today there is no dark or light
F G Am G F Today there is no black or white
C F G7sus G7 Only shades of gray.
