Song: In the Year 2525
By:   Zager & Evans

[verse: 1]  {strum slowly}
Abm 
  In the year 2525
Gb
  If man is still alive
E   
   If woman can survive
           Eb7
they may find

| Abm | | | |  {moderately fast+band kick in}

[verse: 2]
Abm
  In the year 3535
Gb
  Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
E
  Everything you think do and say
Eb7
  Is in the pill you took today

[verse: 3]
Abm
  In the year 4545
Gb
  You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes
E
  You won't find a thing to chew
Eb7
  Nobody's gonna look at you 

[verse: 4]
Abm
  In the year 5555
Gb
  Your arms hanging limp at your sides
E
  Your legs got nothing to do
Eb7
  Some machine's doing that for you
 
[verse: 5] 
Abm
In the year 6565
Gb
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
E
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
Eb7
From the bottom of a long glass tube

Abm | | | | Am | | | |

[verse: 6]
Am
  In the year 7510
G
  If God's a comin He oughta make it by then
F
  Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
E7
  Guess it's time for the judgement day

[verse: 7]
Am
  In the year 8510
G
  God is gonna shake His mighty head
F
  He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
E7                                      
  Or tear it down and start again,  woh oh 

| Am | | | | Bbm | | | |

[verse: 8]
Bbm
  In the year 9595
Ab
  I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
Gb
  He's takin everything this old earth can give
F7                                      Bbm {let ring}
 and he ain't put back nothing  woh oh
 
[verse: 9] {strum slowly}
Bbm
Now it's been ten thousand years
Ab
Man has cried a billion tears
Gb
For what he never knew
F7
Now man's reign is through

[verse: 10]
Bbm
But through eternal night
Ab
the twinkling of starlight
Gb
So very far away
F7 {let ring}
Maybe it's only yesterday
 
[verse: 11] {moderately fast+band kick in}
Bbm
  In the year 2525
Ab
  If man is still alive
Gb

They may find
