One day shots rang out in the peaceful Valley
Em G Em G
God was crying tears that fell like rain
D G C G
Before the railroad came from Kansas City
D G C
And the bullets hit the bison from the rain
Am F#dim7
The first shot rang accross the peaceful valley
G D#dim7
And the white man laid his foot upon the plain
Em (en faisant sonner a vide la corde B) G Em G
The wagon train rolled through the dusty canyon
The settlers full of wonder as they crossed
A gentle creek wher two old oaks were standing
Before the west was won there was a cost
A rain of fire came down upon the wagons
G F#dim7
A mother screamed and every soul was lost

Change hit the country like a thunderstorm
Ancient rivers soon began to boil
People rushed like water to California
At first they came for gold an then for oil
Fortunes were made and lost in lifetimes
G D#dim7 (Riff)
Mother earth took poison in her soil
Em (en faisant sonner a vide la corde B) G Em G Em G Em G
An electro cruiser coasted towards the exit
And turned on Peaceful Valley Boulevard
'people make the difference' read a billboard
Above a long life of odling cars
Who'll be the one to lead this world
G F#dim7
Who'll be the beacon in the night
Ab F
Who'll be the one to lead this world
Ab F
Who'll be the beacon in the night
C* G
Who'll be the one to lead the nations
Ab F
And protect God's creations
Em (en faisant sonner a vide la corde B) G Em G Em G Em G
A polar bear still drifting on an ice floe
Sun beating down from the sky
Politicians gathered for a summit
And came awy with nothing to decide
Storms thnudered on his tears of falling rain
A chid was born and wondered why
