Capo: 3rd Fret
[Intro] G D Em C
[Verse 1]
G D Em C
Sometimes I lay under the moon, I thank God I'm breathing
G D Em C
Then I pray don't take me soon, I am here for reason
[Pre-chorus]
G D Em C
Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down
C D Em C
So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around 'cause
[Chorus]
G D Em C
All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say
G D Em C
That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
G D Em C
One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
G D Em C
One day, one day, one day
[Verse 2]
G D Em C
It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose when they feed on the
G D Em C
Souls of the innocent, blood-drenched pavement , keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'
G D Em C
In this maze you could lose your way, your way
G D Em C
It might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you no way, no way
[Pre-chorus]
G D Em C
Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down
C D Em C
So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around 'cause
[Chorus]
G D Em C
All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say
G D Em C
That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
G D Em C
One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
G D Em C
One day, one day, one day
The chords are the same but palm muted. You play the first three chords
quickly and muted (G, D and Em) and loudly strum the last one (the C). Then it goes into Arpeggios.
[Bridge]
G D Em C
One day this all will change, treat people the same, stop with the violence, down with the hate
G D Em C
One day we'll all be free, and proud to be under the same sun singing songs of freedom like
G D Em C
Wye oh Woh oh oh
G D Em C
Wye oh Woh oh oh
{Chorus} - Starts slower and gradually speeding up to normal speed.
G D Em C
All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say
G D Em C
That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
G D Em C
One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
G D Em C
One day, one day, one day
[Outro] G D Em C x2
