I Hope

Em                           D
Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say
C
Thou shall not kill
C                  D                   C
I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing

And that it's God's will

Em                     D
'Cause our children are watching us
               C
They put their trust in us

They're gonna be like us
Em                      D
So let's learn from our history
          C
And do it differently


[Chorus]
 G
I hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

I hope

We'll have more than we'll ever need
  C
I hope

We'll have more happy ever afters
  G
I hope

We can all live more fearlessly
           D            C           G
And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope

I hope


[Verse 2]
Em                D
Oh Rosie, her man he gets too rough
C
That's all she can say,
 Em
Is he's a good man
         D
He don't mean no harm
       C
He was just brought up that way

Em                   D
But our children are watching us
                C
They put their trust in us

They're gonna be like us
Em                  D
It's okay for us to disagree
       C
We can work it out lovingly


[Chorus]
 G
I hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

I hope

We'll have more than we'll ever need
  C
I hope

We'll have more happy ever afters
  G
I hope

We can all live more fearlessly
           D            C           G
And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope

I hope


[Bridge]
G               Em     C
There must be a way to change what's going on
G               Em      C
No I don't have all the answers


[Chorus]
  G
I hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

I hope

We'll have more than we'll ever need
  C
I hope

We'll have more happy ever afters
  G
I hope

We can all live more fearlessly
           D            C           G
And we can lose all the pain and misery
