PEACE ON EARTH transcribed by Brandon Leniart (leniart@juno.com) Like many songs from this album, Edge's lead varies from verse to verse and chorus to chorus, so they will change up in the song. It's in G major. (intro lead, also played during the verse in varying forms) G 1------------------------------15--------------15------ 2---10--12--12--10--10--12-----15---10--12-----15---12-

niilo82@hotmail.com C Heaven on Earth Fmaj7 We need it now C I'm sick of all of this Fmaj7 Hanging around C Sick of sorrow Fmaj7 sick of the pain Dm sick of hearing G Again and again Dm That there's gonna be C Peace on Earth C Where I grew up Fmaj7 There weren't many trees C Where there was we'd tear them down Fmaj7 And use them on our enemies C They say that what you mock Fmaj7 Will surely overtake you Dm And you become a monster G So the monster will not break you Dm And it's already gone too far You said that if you go in hard C You won't get hurt C Jesus can you take the time Dm To throw a drowning man a line Am Fmaj7 Peace on Earth C Tell the ones who hear no sound Dm Whose sons are living in the ground Am Fmaj7 Peace on Earth C No who's or why's Dm No one cries like a mother cries Am Fmaj7 For peace on Earth C She never got to say goodbye Dm To see the color in his eyes Am Fmaj7 Now he's in the dirt C Peace on Earth C They're reading names out Fmaj7 Over the radio C All the folks the rest of us Fmaj7 Won't get to know Dm Sean and Julia G Gareth, Anne, and Breeda Dm Their lives are bigger than G Any big idea C Jesus can you take the time Dm To throw a drowning man a line Am Fmaj7 Peace on Earth To tell the ones who hear no sound Whose sons are living in the ground Peace on Earth Jesus in the song you wrote The words are sticking in my throat Peace on Earth Hear it every Christmas time But hope and history won't rhyme So what's it worth This peace on Earth C Peace on Earth C Peace on Earth C Peace on Earth
