As I walk thr[G]ough [C] this wicked [G]world   [C]
Searchin' for [Em] light in the [A]darkness of insani[D]ty   [C]

VERSE  2
And as I walk [G]on [C] through troubled t[G]imes   [C]
My spirit gets [Em]so down[A]hearted some[D]times   [C]
So where are the [G]strong [C] and who are the [G]trusted   [C]
And where is the [Em]  ha[A]rmo[D]ny - sweet harmo[C]ny?
