Ok I'm kinda new, so go easy on me
Billy Joel
Two Thousand Years
From The River of Dreams
F#
In the beginning
Cb C#
there was the cold and the night
G#m
Prophets and angels
C# F#
gave us the fire and the light
D#m
Man was triumphant
A# dim Cb C dim
Armed with the faith and the will
Cb F# C#
That even the darkest ages couldn't kill
F#
Too many kingdoms
Cb C#
Too many flags on the field
G#m
So many battles
C# F#
So many wounds to be healed
D#m
Time is relentless
Adim Cb Bdim
Only true love perseveres
F# Cb D#m
It's been a long time and now I'm with you
C# F#
After two thousand years
F#
This is our moment
Cb C#
Here at the crossroads of time
G#m
We hope our children
C# F#
Carry our dreams down the line
D#m
they are the vintage
A# dim Cb Bdim
What kind of life will they live?
Cb F# C#
Is this a curse or a blessing that we give?
F#
Sometimes I wonder
Cb C#
Why are we so blind to Fate?
G#m
Without compassion
C# F#
there can be no end to hate
D#m
No end to sorrow
Adim Cb Bdim
caused by the same endless fears
Cb F# D#m
Why can’t we learn from all we’ve been through
C# F#
after two thousand years?
F#
There will be miracles
Cb C#
after the last war is won
G#m
Science and poetry
C# F#
Rule in the new world to come
D#m
Prophets and angels
dim Cb Bdim
gave us the power to see
Cb F# C#
what an amazing future there will be
F#
And in the evening
Cb C#
after the fire and the light
G#m
One thing is certain
C# F#
nothing can hold back the night
D#m
Time is relentless
Adim Cb Bdim
and as the past disappears
F# Cb D#m
We’re on the verge of all things new
C# Cb F#
We are two thousand years
Outro
F#-Bb-C-F
Notes: I find that the F# and Cb in the second-to-last line of each stanza is
I placed them where I thought they sounded best, but they are subjective. Also, at the
of
stanza, Joel goes up the bass from F# to Cb (starting at F# to G# etc.) and when the bass
to Cb the chord changes. That’s easier to understand on piano
