INTRO: G D Am
Many years a[G]go [D]he looked [Am]out through a glassless [Em]window
All that he could [G]see was [D]Baby[Am]lon
Beautiful green [G]fields and [D]dreams and [Am]learn to measure the [Em]stars
But there was a [G]worry [D]in his [Am]heart
CHORUS:
He said,
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?
I'm really worried about [D]living[Am]
How could it [D]come to [Am]this?
Yeah, I really want to [D]know about[C] this"
Then there came a [G]time [D]it moved [Am]out 'cross the Mediter[Em]ranean
Came to western [G]isles and the [D]Greek young [Am]men
With their silver[G] beards they [D]laughed at the [Am]unknown of the [Em]universe
They could just [G]sit and [D]guess god's [Am]name
CHORUS:
But they said,
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?
I'm really worried about [D]living[Am]
How could it [D]come to [Am]this?
Yeah, I really want to [D]know about[C] this"
Then there came a [G]time of [D]Kings, [Am]Empires and revo[Em]lution
Blood just lo[G]oks the same when you [D]open the [Am]vein
Sometimes it was[G] faith, [D]power or [Am]reason as the [Em]cornerstone
But the furrowed[G] brow has [D]never left his [Am]face
CHORUS:
He says,
"How could it [D]come to [Am]this?

How could it [D]come to [Am]this?
Yeah, I really want to kn[D]ow about[C] this"

We've been living in a [D]land[Am]slide
How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
Yeah, I really want to kn[D]ow about[C] this
Then there came a [G]time, [D]man packed [Am]up, moved off from the [Em]planet
He went to the[G] moon, [D]took a [Am]load
Now he's out in [G]space, [D]hey-hey, [Am]fixing all the [Em]problems
He comes f[G]ace to face [D]with [Am]god
