21) HOW MANY TIMES

 HOW MANY TIMES

 

Intro: F-G-C-Am-F-C

 

C                F

How many times must

        C               Am

Our brother be struck

C                 F            G   

Before this hatred will end?

C               F

How many times must

C                      Am

He stumble and fall

C                  F                   G  G7  C

Before we will lend him a hand?

C               F                     C          Am

How many times must he wander alone,

C                    F                  G

Before we will call him our friend?

 

Refrain:

        F                 G

The answer my friend,

      C             Am

Is living in all men,

       F             G                 C

The answer is living in all men

 

(same chords as 1^st verse)

How many years must this people exist

Before we know we are one?

How many times

Must their blood be shed

Before a peace can be won?

How many times

Must we break the bread,

Before  we believe what He’s done?

 

(same chords as 1^st verse)

How many times

Can we walk God’s earth,

And travel the streets all alone?

How many times can we offer this bread,

And still refuse to be shown?

How many times can we share this cup,

And live like He still isn’t known?
