A                  E
  There's a hole in the world tonight,
            A                 E
  There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
            A                  E
  There's a hole in the world tonight,
                       F#m           E     A
  Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow. 


[Verse1]
  A                         E
  They say that anger is just love disapointed,
  A                            E
  They say that love is just a state of mind,
  A                          E
  But all this fighting over who is anointed,
  F#m                  E     A
  Oh how could people be so blind.

[Chorus]
           A                  E
  There's a hole in the world tonight,
            A                 E
  There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
            A                  E
  There's a hole in the world tonight,
                       F#m           E     A
  Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.


[Verse2]
  A                         E
  Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
  A                              E
  Cool water running through the burning sand,
  A                 E
  Unitl we learn to love one another,
  F#m      E               A
  We will never reach the promise land.

[Chorus]
           A                  E
  There's a hole in the world tonight,
            A                 E
  There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
            A                  E
  There's a hole in the world tonight,
                       F#m           E     A
  Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

  Oh how could people be so blind.
