Eliza Gilkyson - Is It Like Today
INTRO: G D Am
G D Am Em
Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
G D Am
All that he could see was Babylon
G D Am Em
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars
G D Am
But there was a worry in his heart
CHORUS:
He said,
D Am
"How could it come to this?
D Am
I'm really worried about living
D Am
How could it come to this?
D C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
G D Am Em
Then there came a time it moved out 'cross the Mediterranean
G D Am
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
G D Am Em
With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
G D Am
They could just sit and guess god's name
CHORUS:
But they said,
D Am
"How could it come to this?
D Am
I'm really worried about living
D Am
How could it come to this?
D C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
G D Am Em
Then there came a time of Kings, Empires and revolution
G D Am
Blood just looks the same when you open the vein
G D Am Em
Sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
G D Am
But the furrowed brow has never left his face
CHORUS:
He says,
D Am
"How could it come to this?
D Am
I'm really worried about living
D Am
How could it come to this?
D C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
INSTRUMENTAL: G D Am Em G D Am (2x)
CHORUS:
D Am
How could it come to this?
D Am
We've been living in a landslide
D Am
How could it come to this?
D C
Yeah, I really want to know about this
G D Am Em
Then there came a time, man packed up, moved off from the planet
G D Am
He went to the moon, took a load
G D Am Em
Now he's out in space, hey-hey, fixing all the problems
G D Am
He comes face to face with god
CHORUS:
He says,
D Am
"How could it come to this?
D Am
I'm really worried about my creation
D Am
How could it come to this?
D C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
G D Am

Is it like today? Woo woo
D Am D Am G Am D Am G Am D Am D Am
