Long ago, in a dusty village full of hunger, pain and strife,
Em D C
A man came forth with a vision of truth and a way to a better

Em G C

the village dried up and died.
Em D C
At a time when wise men peered through glass tubes toward the

That he had thought he'd found the answer and he was quick to

write his revelations.
B C A C

D Em BCBCBCBC
became a mockery.
CHORUS:
Em G C
Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will
D
come along soon.
Em G C B

C D Em
Then 'The Answer' is perfect for you.
