(Happiness?)







G                                              C

i went to the ukraine  they don't have much to eat

                Am                        G

no sugar on the table but the people stay sweet

G                                                    C

i've been to the third world they've got nothing but hope

                         Am                           G

through the starving and dying sometimes somehow they cope



           Am               C                        G

it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me



G                                          C

i've been to the u.s. promised land of the free

                      Am                        G

with the workless and homeless begging on every street



             Am             C                        G

it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me

D   G                Em  A

revelation, it was a revelation



G                                      C

and right here in europe far as can be seen

                     Am                              G

butter mountains and wine lakes  that much food it's obscene

G                                               C

now you can label me stupid  or naive with this song

                      Am                                      G

but when children are starving i know what's right and what's wrong



             Am             C                        G

it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me

D   G                Em  A       F   C                Am G

revelation, it was a revelation, revelation, it was a re - - velation

             F                       C

it was a revelation, a revelation to me.
