Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Dadd4/:  200233
 note: the easiest way to play those G chords is to play the low E string with your
 your not comfortable doing that then I would suggest just playing G G2 G G2 for the intro/verse
 When the dollar  made with blood is spent
 When an enemy can't  become a friend
 When the better man  won't lend a hand
 Baby this  is how the world will  end
 When a day of hope is a rarity,
 Or a diplomat hasn't time to see
 That a child lost is a true offense,
 Baby, this is how the world will end.
 Bring a chair  up to the table.
 Bring a message  to the crowd.
 
 Where's  a common trust to deliver us from the wretched and the proud?
 Sing a tune  about the promise.
 Speak on that  which we depend.
 And if a certain  light don't shine again,
 Baby, this  is how the world  will end.
 When the poorest kid is fending for himself,
 Or the widow cries, but she gets no help.
 When we know what's true, but we still pretend,
 Baby, this is how the world will end.
 Bring a chair up to the table.
 Bring a message to the crowd.
 Where's a common trust to deliver us from the wretched and the proud?
 Sing a tune about the promise.
 Speak on that which we depend.
 Now let that certain light come shinin' then,
 Baby, we could change the world again.
 But if that certain  light don't shine again,
 Baby, this  is how the world will end.
 Enjoy! And definitely go out and see the Elms if you get a chance, they even better live!
