Weavers - Wasnt That A Time Chords

[Verse]
            C               D
Our fathers bled at Valley Forge.
              C        D
The snow was red with blood,
                  C  Bm   Am               D 
Their faith was waaa-aaa-aaarm at Valley Forge,
       G    F#m  Em      A7        D     
Their faaaa-aaa-aith was brother-hood.


[Chorus]
  D                                Am 
Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time,
            D       C       D 
A time to  try the soul of man,
                 C          D 
Wasn't that a terrible time?


[Verse]
                C            D
Brave men who died at Gettysburg
             C        D
Now lie in soldier's graves,
                C     Bm  Am                D
But there they steee-eee-emmed the slavery tide,
     G  F#m Em       A7         D
And the-eee-ere the faith was saved.


[Chorus]
  D                                Am 
Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time,
            D       C       D 
A time to  try the soul of man,
                 C          D 
Wasn't that a terrible time?


[Verse]
              C                    D
The fascists came with chains and war
          C      D 
To prison us in hate.
           C  Bm  Am                 D
And many a go-ooo-od man fought and died
   G  F#m Em       A7       D
To sa-aaa-ave the stricken faith.


[Chorus]
  D                                Am 
Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time,
            D       C       D 
A time to  try the soul of man,
                 C          D 
Wasn't that a terrible time?


[Verse]
          C               D
And now again the madmen come,
                C       D
And should our vic'try fail?
            C   Bm  Am          D 
There is no vi-iii-ic'try in a land
       G  F#m Em     A7     D
Where fre-eee-ee men go to jail.


[Chorus]
 D
Isn't this a time!
              Am
Isn't this a time!
           D       C       D
A time to try the soul of man,
              C        D
Isn't this a terrible time?


[Verse]
                 C              D
Our faith cries out we have no fear
            C         D
We dare to reach our hand
         C  Bm   Am               D    
To other ne-eee-eighbors far and near
    G   F#m  Em      A7     D
To frie-eee-ends in every land.


[Chorus 3]
 D
Isn't this a time!
              Am
Isn't this a time!
           D        C       D
A time to free the soul of man!
              C         D
Isn't this a wonderful time!


[Two additional verses written by Lee Hays and sung at the 1980 Weavers reunion:]
    C              D
How many times we've gone to kill
      C         D
In freedom's holy name.
C  Bm   Am    D
And children died to save the pride
G   F#m  Em      A7     D
Of rulers without shame.

  C              D
Informers took their Judas pay
C         D
To tell their sorry tale
G   F#m  Em      A7     D
And gangs in Congress had their way
G   F#m  Em      A7     D
And free souls went to jail
