Here is a great song from the former Waterboy's memeber Karl Wallinger.
His new band is called World Party and this is a song called Is it like today.
Any help with it would be greatly appreciated. The chords are ok, but the timing
is probably not perfect(without my guitar here). As you see, I also need some
help with the lyrics. Anyway here it is.....



---- Is it like today by World Party --------------------------------------


Many years ago[G] he[D] looked [Am]out trough a glassless window
All that he could see[G] was [D]Babylon[Am]
Baeutiful green fields[G] and dreams[D] and learn [Am]to measure the stars
But there was a worry[G] in[D] his heart[Am]

He said,
[Em]How could it come to this[C]?
I'm really worried[Em] about living[C]
How could it come[Em] to this[C]?
Yeah I really want to know[Em] about this[C]
Is it like today?[G][D][Am]

Then there came a day
It moved out 'cross the mediterranean
Came to western isles and the greek young men
And with there silver beards they laughed
At the unknown of the universe
They could just sit and guess Gods name

chorus

two or three more verses to follow.......

: Many years ago[G] he[D] looked [Am]out trough a glassless[Em] window
: All that he could see[G] was [D]Babylon[Am]
:Baeutiful green fields[G]and dreams[D] and learn [Am]to measure the[Em]stars
: But there was a worry[G] in[D] his heart[Am]

	I think you may find an Em at the apropriate places above

: He said,
: [Em]How could it come to this[C]?
: I'm really worried[Em] about living[C]
: How could it come[Em] to this[C]?
: Yeah I really want to know[Em] about this[C]
: Is it like today?[G][D][Am]

	I play the chorus like this (not saying its right) give it a
	try.

: He said,[Am]
: How [Am7]could it [D]come to this[Am]?
: [Am7]I'm really worried[D] about living[Am]
: [Am7]How could it come[D] to this[Am]?
: Yeah I[D] really want to know about this[C]
: Is it like today?[G][D][Am]

	Have fun,
