Roger Whittaker - Why Chords

[Intro]
C  G    F  G    C  G    F  G    C
 
[Verse 1]
C                 Em             C              Em
Something's going wrong with the singer and the song
        C                      Dm
And the music isn't gentle any more
          Dm
There's a mist across the moon and the sun's too hot at noon
                                        G7
And the house is dark behind the broken door
 
[Verse 2]
          C               Em            C                  Em
Where the flowers used to grow withered leaves are hanging low
      C                                Dm7
And a constant shadow lands across the floor
          Dm
There's a strange and empty sky where the wild birds used to fly
      Dm7                        G7
And I never tasted bitter rain before
 
[Chorus]
             C                                 F
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
         Dm7           G7              C
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
         Am                E7
Will the fire burn out the land
        Am               Fm
And the sea fill up with sand
         G                        Am
Will the last word ever spoken be - "Why?"
         F              G         C
Will the last word ever spoken be - "Why?"
 
[Verse 3]
C                  Em           C              Em
Someone's lost the plan for the Brotherhood of Man
    C                             Dm7
And noone's trying to find it any more
         Dm
Have the winds become a sigh for those who hate and those who die
                                           G
And the waves are black and slow along the shore
 
[Chorus]
             C                                 F
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
         Dm7           G7              C
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
         Am                E7
Will the fire burn out the land
        Am               F
And the sea fill up with sand
         G7                       Am
Will the last word ever spoken be - "Why?"
         F              G7         C     C/B   Am
Will the last word ever spoken be "Why - Why - Why?"
 
         F              G7        C  G     F  G7     C
Will the last word ever spoken be - "Why?"
