The Tide Is Turning Acordes

	  C 
  I used to think the world was flat 
Am 
  Rarely threw my hat into the crowd 
 F                                G 
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning 
C 
  Used to look in on the children at night 
Am 
  In the glow of their Donald Duck light 
 F                                                     G 
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning 

    Am        G              C 
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning 
  Am     G             C 
          The tide is turning 

C 
Satellite buzzing through the endless night 
Am 
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights 
F                                    G 
Jesus Christ! Imagine what it must be earning! 
C 
Who is the strongest? Who is the best? 
Am 
Who holds the aces: the East or the West? 
F                                  G 
This is the crap our children are learning! 
Am            G              C 
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning 
Am    G             C 
       The tide is turning 
Am         G             C 
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning 

C 
Now the satellite's confused 
'Cos on Saturday night 
Am 
The airwaves were full of compassion and light 
F 
And his silicon heart warmed 
                                   G 
To the sight of a billion candles burning 
Am         G             C 
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning 
Am         G             C 
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning 

(The tide is turning, Billy) 

C 
I'm not saying that the battle is won 
Am 
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun 
F                                                G 
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the War Lords 
Am         G             C 
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning 
Am    G              C 
        The tide is turning
