When I was young and my heart was strong

F G Am (Asus2/Asus4)

I heard a whisperin' voice say, “Hey, hey – It’s time to be movin' on”

C E E7 F C

The day I turned fifteen – That’s the day I found my dreams

F G Am Asus2

That’s the day I weighed my load – That’s the day I hit the road

C E E7 F C

My old leather shoes are worn – I’ve been out here for a while

F G Am Asus2

I’ve been riding out the storm and I’m riding out in style

C E E7 F C

There’s a shadow on the land – I have felt it in my dreams

F G Am (Asus2/Asus4)

It can’t be seen or held in hand but some have heard the silent screams

C E E7 F C

From the highest mountain tops to way down in the city’s corridors

F G Am G

You can hear the cry and prayer of the Rainbow Warriors – I Love You

I am a Rainbow Warrior – I Love You

We are the Rainbow Warriors

C E E7 F C

You got to live with what you do, so do what’s right for me and you

Yesterday’s burnings are the same thing, as tomorrow’s acid rain

C E E7 F C

Maybe you think I’ve been livin' wrong – I’ve been on the road a little bit too long

F G Am Asus2

If you spend just one day in my shoes you’d be singin' the Rainbow Blues too

C E E7 F C

In a book I had seen, about a war between the Grey and the Green

F G

These words keep running through my head

The price of freedom is two hundred thousand dead

Am G Am

Maybe ten million more – two hundred thousand dead

Am G Am

Maybe ten billion more – two hundred thousand dead

C E E7 F C

In a house by the ocean where the mental lepers live

F G Am (Asus2/Asus4)

All they ask is blind devotion, but I think that’s more than I can give

C E E7 F C

There stands the wizard with the television eyes

F G Am

If you listen to his wisdom you gotta listen to his lies

For the rest of your lives

Am G

You gotta listen to his lies

C E E7 F C

When I was young and my heart was strong

F G Am (Asus2/Asus4)

I heard a whisperin' voice say, “Hey, hey – It’s time to be moving on”

C E E7 F C

The day I turned 15 – That’s the day I found my dream

F G Am Asus2

That’s the day I weighed my load – That’s the day I hit the road

C E E7 F C

I’ve been out here for a while – My old leather shoes are worn

F G Am

I’m goin' out with a smile and I’m riding out the storm

Am G Am

Hey, hey hey – I’m riding out the storm

Am G Am

Hey, hey hey – I’m riding out the storm

Am G Am

Hey, ho ho – I’m riding out the storm
