[Chorus]
By the Atime you Eget this Dnote
We'll no Bmlonger Ebe aAlive
We'll have Aall gone Eup in Dsmoke
There'll be Bmno way Eto reAply
You'll be FwondeGring aDbout the Eworld that Avanished Clong Dago
And the F#mwords that Ereach you Dnow
That were Dburied EunderAground
[Verse]
AGreeEtings to Deveryone in BmNineteen EThirty-ASeven
It seems Athat Eyou were Dnever aBmware that Ewe were Ahere
You're FprobaGbly too Dbusy Ere-Ajoicing Cin the Dpresent
To stop F#m- and Ebe reDminded of the Ddark and Etroubled Apast
[Chorus]
By the Atime you Eget this Dnote
We'll no Bmlonger Ebe aAlive
But our Askulls are Esmiling Dstill
At the Bmthought of Ethings to Acome
We can FconfiGdently Dknow that Eyou'll enAjoy a Cbetter Dworld
When the F#mevils Ethat we Dfaced
Will at Dlast be Elaid to Arest
[Bridge]
When the F#mpoisons of the BmEarth
Are comC#pletely neutraF#mlized
When the F#mhatred and the Bmlies
Are forC#ever put F#maside
When the Dvoices Eof disBsent and C#contraF#mdiction Aall aBbate
And the Dpeaceful F#mair is Bmfilled
With a Bmsilent C#harmoF#mny
[Verse]
AWe Ecan't be Dcertain at the Bmmoment Eof this Awriting
But Asurely Ein the Dfuture there'll be Bmno Ebarking Adogs
The Fsound of Gcrying Dbabies Ewill be AthankfulCly forDgotten
F#mNo more Ewill the Dchattering Dclasses Emake a Anoise
[Chorus]
By the Atime you Eget this Dnote
A milBmleniEum from Anow
We'll have Aall gone Eup in Dsmoke
There'll be Bmno way Eto Areply
And we AconfiEdently Dknow
You'll enBmjoy a Ebetter Atime
When the Aevils Ethat we Dfaced
Will at Bmlast be Elaid to Arest
