(D major)
Verse 1
The (D major) old man
turned off the radio
Said, (G major) "Where did all of the old songs go
(E minor) Kid (E major) s sure play funny
music these days (A major)
They play it in the strangest ways"
(D major) Said, "it looks to me like
they've all gone wild
(G major) It was peaceful back
when I was a child"
Well, (E major) man, could it be that
the girls and boys
Are trying (A major) to be heard above your noise?
And (D major) the lonely voice of youth (G major)
cries (A major) "What is truth?"

Verse 2
A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Look (G major) s up and says, "Daddy,
what is war?"
(E major) "son, that's when people fight and die"
The (A major) little boy of three says "Daddy, why?"
A (D major) young man of seventeen
in Sunday school (G major)
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time (E major) another
year has gone around
It may (A major) be his turn to lay his life down
Can (D major) you blame the voice of
youth (G major) for asking (A major)
Verse 3
"What is truth?"
(D major) A (G major)
(A major) (D major)
young man sittin'
on the witness stand
(G major) The man with the book says
"Raise your hand"
"Re (E major) peat after me, I solemnly swear"
(A major) The man looked down at his long hair
And although (D major) the young
man solemnly swore
(G major) Nobody seems to hear anymore
And it (E major) didn't really matter
if the truth was there
It was (A major) the cut of his clothes
and the length of his hair
And (D major) the lonely voice of youth (G major) cries (A major)

Verse 4
(D major) The young girl dancing to the latest beat
Has (G major) found new ways to
move her feet
The young (E major) man speaking in the city square
Is (A major) trying to tell somebody
that he cares (D major)
Yeah, the ones that you're
calling wild
(G major) Are going to be the leaders in a little while
This old (E major) world's wakin'
to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that
it'll be their way (A major)
You better (D major) help the voice of
youth (G major) find (A major) (D major)
(G major) (A major)
