THE ANSWER
Em C A C D Em
C B C B C B C
Em D C B
Long ago, in a dusty village full of hunger, pain and strife,
Em D C
A man came forth with a vision of truth and a way to a better
A D
life.
Em G C
He was convinced he had the answer and he compelled people to
D
follow along.
B C A
But the hunger never vanished, and the man was banished, and
C D E BCBCBCBC
the village dried up and died.
Em D C
At a time when wise men peered through glass tubes toward the
B
skies,
Em D C
The Heavens changed in predictable ways and one man was able
A D
to find,
Em G C
That he had thought he'd found the answer and he was quick to
D
write his revelations.
B C A C
But as they were scrutinised in his colleagues eyes, he soon
D Em BCBCBCBC
became a mockery.
CHORUS:
Em G C
Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will
D
come along soon.
Em G C B
I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too.
C A
But if you've got enough naiveté, and you've got conviction,
C D Em
Then 'The Answer' is perfect for you.
