(D) In times like these (G) when night sur(D)rounds me
And I am (A) weary and my heart is (D) worn
When the songs they're singing (G) don't mean (D) nothing
Just cheap re(A)frains play on and (D) on
(D) The storm is here (G) the lightning (D) flashes
Between com(A)mercials they're taking (D) names
The singers run (G) to where the (D) cash is
Just another (A) link in slavery's (D) chain
(D) I see the (A) storm clouds rise a(D)bove me
The sky is (A) dark and the night has (D) come
I walk alone (G) along this (D) highway
Where strangers (A) gather one by (D) one
Interlude
(D) When leaders profit (G) from deep di(D)visions
When the tears of (A) friends remain un(D)sung
In times like these (G) it's good to re(D)member
These times will (A) go in times to (D) come
(D) I see the (A) storm clouds rise a(D)bove me
The sky is (A) dark and the night has (D) come
I walk alone (G) along this (D) highway
Where friends have (A) gathered one by (D) one
(D) I know the (A) storm will soon be (D) over
The howling (A) winds will cease to (D) be
I walk with friends (G) from every (D) nation
On freedom's (A) highway in times like (D) these
And I am (A) weary and my heart is (D) worn
When the songs they're singing (G) don't mean (D) nothing
Just cheap re(A)frains play on and (D) on
(D) The storm is here (G) the lightning (D) flashes
