Tuning:

The song does not use a capo but I like to play it at capo 7 because it is too low for me. [Intro] G C [Verse 1]

^GHeaven on Earth ^CWe need it now ^GI'm sick of all of this ^CHanging around

^GSick of sorrow ^CI'm sick of the pain ^AmI'm sick of hearing ^DAgain and again ^CThat there's gonna be ^GPeace on Earth

[Verse 2]

^GWhere I grew up ^CThere weren't many trees ^GWhere there was we'd tear them down ^CAnd use them on our enemies

^GThey say that what you mock ^CWill surely overtake you ^AmAnd you become a monster ^DSo the monster will not break you

[Pre-Chorus]

^CAnd it's already gone too far ^CYou said that if you go in hard You wo^Gn't get hurt

[Chorus 1]

^GJesus can you take the time ^DTo throw a drowning man a line ^CPeace on Earth ^Am

^GTell the ones who hear no sound Whose s^Emons are living in the ground ^BmPeace on Earth ^C

^GNo who's or why's No one cries ^Dlike a mother cries ^CFor peace on Earth ^Am

^GShe never got to say goodbye To s^Emee the color in his eyes Now he's^Bm in the dirt ^C ^GPeace on Earth ^C

[Verse 3]

^GThey're reading names out ^COver the radio ^GAll the folks the rest of us ^CWon't get to know

^AmSean and Julia ^DGareth, Anne, and Breeda ^AmTheir lives are bigger than ^GAny big i^Ddea

[Chorus 2]

^GJesus can you take the time ^DTo throw a drowning man a line ^CPeace on Earth ^Am

^GTo tell the ones who hear no sound Whose ^Emsons are living in the ground ^BmPeace on Earth ^C

^GJesus in the song you wrote ^DThe words are sticking in my throat ^CPeace on Earth ^Am

^GHear it every Christmas time ^EmBut hope and history won't rhyme ^BmSo what's it worth ^C
