Open: E - A - E - B7

   E
Remember when the music

 A                B7                 E
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire.

    B7                              A
And as we sang the words, it would set our minds on fire

          E                   B7
For we believed in things and so we'd sing


   E
Remember when the music

   A              B7               E
Brought us all together to stand inside the rain

    B7                           A
And as we joined our hands we'd meet in the refrain

             E                        B7
For we had dreams to live and we had hopes to give


             E
Don't you remember when the music 

         A                B7                    E
Was the best of what we dreamed of, for our children's time

    B7                                 A
And as we sang we worked, for we knew time was just a line

   E                          B7
A gift we saved, a gift the future gave


     A                            E
Oh, all the times I listened and all the times I heard

           A                       E
All the melodies I'm missing, and all the magic words

    C#m                               G#m
And all those potent voices and the choices we had then

        F#7                                 B      A     G#m7 - F#m7
How I'd love to find we have that kind of choice again


   E
Remember when the music

       A            B7                E
Was a glow on the horizon of every newborn day

    B7                              A
And as we sang the sun came up to chase the dark away

     E                     B7
And life was good. For we knew we could


   E
Remember when the music

              A                             E
Brought the night across the valley as the day went down

    B7                               A
And as we'd hum the melody, we'd be safe inside the sound

    E                           B7
And so we'd sleep, for we had dreams to keep.


E - A - E - B7


        A
And I dream that something's coming 

          E
And it's not just in the wind

      A
It's more than just tomorrow

      E
It's more than where we've been 

    C#m
It offers me a promise

       G#m
It's telling me, begin

  F#7 
I know we're needing something worth 

    B     A   G#m7 - F#m7
Believing in


   E
Remember when the music

 A                B7                 E
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire.

    B7                              A
And as we sang the words, it would set our minds on fire

          E                   B7
For we believed in things and so we'd sing

[repeat and fade...]

    E        A
And so we'd sing.

    E        B7
And so we'd sing.
