How can there be trouble in this world?
F G
With the colour in these hills
F G
The blue October sky
F C F G
This little road that winds along the river
C F Em
Dusty barns and tractors in the fields
F G
And families sit in front yards
F G
Or stand outside the churches
F G
Kids are throwing footballs
F G
And pulling carts of pumpkins
F C F G C
And the morning sun is sparkling on the water
F Em
How can there be such trouble in this world?
F G
Where the mountains roll so gently
F G
Deer graze on the hillsides
F G
Birds chat on the phone lines
F C F G
The whole wide world's a prayer for Sunday morning
C F Em
The geese inspect the stubble in the fields
F G
And all along the roadside
F G
Families stop to wonder
F G
At the new October morning
F G
And a red tailed hawk is circling
F C
And a father hugs his daughter
F C Am F
And an old man holds the car door for his wife to come and see
C F
Then they turn and smile at me
Dm G Am
How can there be such trouble in this world?
F C F G
I know of course, I know, that this is not the only picture
F C F G
I don't of course, I don't, know what to do
F Em
But the road keeps winding through the afternoon
F G
And it doesn't know the sorrow
F G
Or an inkling of the shadow
F G
Of the rage across the water
F G
The hatred and the horror
F C Am C
It just wanders through this valley with the river by its side
F G
As the light fades from the sky
C F C
The beautiful light fades from the sky
