Am          D             Am          D

        D              G              C                  Am
Did you ever stop to notice all the blood we've shed before?

        D                              E
Did you ever stop to notice the crying Earth, the weeping shore?

What about all the peace that that you pledge your only son?

What about flowering fields is there a time?

Am           D                     E
What about all the dreams that you said were yours and mine?


Did you ever stop to notice all the children dead from war?


Did you ever stop to notice the crying Earth the weeping shore?
