 E                  A                
  Love was a lesson we tried to learn
 E                    F#m7           
  There were no exams to pass or fail
      A                      E    
 Only heartbreaks, renew our faith
 
 E                 A                   
 Life was a lesson we've tried to learn
 E                               F#m7           
 There were no tests to pass, no license to gain
      A                      E    
 Only win or lose, renew our faith
 
           B             A  
 Renew our faith, let us see
         B         A               
 Fifties child was right to believe
           B             A    
 Peace and love were our needs
                E   
 The need to be free
 
 E               A                 
 War is a lesson we've had to learn
 E                           F#m7            
 We had to learn to kill, to destroy and burn
         A                      E    
 But our spirits cry, renew our faith
 E                 A                 
 Peace is a lesson we've yet to learn
 E                            F#m7             
  A prize for all mankind who race for the gain
    A                           E    
 Of love and harmony, renew our faith
 
           B             A  
 Renew our faith, let us see
         B         A

 Renew our faith, let us see
           B         A               
 Young and old we're right to believe

 Peace and love are our needs
                E   
 The need to be free
