Verse
         F#m 
It was a slow day 
        F#m6 
And the sun was beating 
       F#m                         E 
On the soldiers by the side of the road 
                   F#m 
There was a bright light 
  F#m6 
A shattering of shop windows 
    F#m         E 
The bomb in the baby carriage 
    D2 
Was wired to the radio, and

E                      Dsus2 
 These are the days of miracle and wonder 
E                          Dsus2 
 This is the long-distance call 
E                   Dsus2 
 The way the camera follows us in slow-mo 
E           Dsus       B 
 The way we look to us all 
C#m                   B4      
 The way we look to a distant constellation 
       E/G#                     D2 
That's dying in a corner of the sky 
F#m                    E5          D5 
 These are the days of miracle and wonder 
    E5               D2 
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

Verse
             F#m 
It was a dry wind 
       E 
And it swept across the desert 
       D6                        C#m 
And it curled into the circle of birth 
        F#m 
And the dead sand 
E 
Falling on the children 
    D6 
The mothers and the fathers 
        B 
And the automatic earth

Well it's a turn-around jump shot 
     E         A 
It's everybody jump start 
     Bm                        C#m 
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts 
F#m                      E2 
 Medicine is magical and magical is art 
D2 
Think of the boy in the bubble 
        B 
And the baby with the baboon heart

E                  D2 
 These are days of lasers in the jungle 
A/C#                     D5 
Lasers in the jungle somewhere 
E                    Bm7/D 
 Staccato signals of constant information 
  A/C#                        B 
A loose affiliation of millionaires 
And billionaires, and, baby
