Two Thousand Years Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

In the begiFnning

there was the coA♯ld and the niCght

Prophets and angGmels

gave us the fCire and the liFght

Man was triuDmmphant

A dim A♯ B dim

Armed with the faith and the will

That even the darA♯kest agFes couldn't kCill

Too many kinFgdoms

Too many fA♯lags on the fiCeld

So many batGmtles

So many woCunds to be heaFled

Time is releDmntless

Only true Adimlove persA♯everBdimes

It's been a lFong time and nA♯ow I'm with yDmou

After tCwo thousand yeFars

This is our moFment

Here at the crosA♯sroads of tCime

We hope our chiGmldren

Carry our drCeams down the lFine

they are the vinDmtage

A dim A♯ Bdim

What kind of life will they live?

Is this a cuA♯rse or a bleFssing that we gCive?

Sometimes I woFnder

Why are we A♯so blind to CFate?

Without compGmassion

there can be Cno end to Fhate

No end to soDmrrow

caused by the Adimsame endless A♯fearBdims

Why can’t we lA♯earn from Fall we’ve been Dmthrough

after two Cthousand years? F

There will be mirFacles

after the lA♯ast war is wCon

Science and pGmoetry

Rule in the Cnew world to Fcome

Prophets and anDmgels

dim A♯ Bdim

gave us the power to see

what an amaA♯zing Ffuture there will Cbe

And in the eveFning

after the fA♯ire and the lCight

One thing is cerGmtain

nothing can Chold back the Fnight

Time is releDmntless

and as the Adimpast diA♯sappBdimears

We’re on the Fverge of A♯all things Dmnew

We are Ctwo thouA♯sand yeFars

Outro

F A♯ C F

Notes: I find that the F and Bb 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 Bb (starting at F to G etc.) and when the bass

to Bb the chord changes. That’s easier to understand on piano
