IN THE YEAR 2525
Zager & Evans
(very slowly - strum each cord once)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive they may find
(moderately fast)
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doing that for you
/ / / /
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too

In the year 7510
If God's a comin He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgement day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again woh oh / / / /
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's takin everything this old earth can give
C#7 F#m (strum only once)
and he ain't put back nothin woh oh
(very slowly - strum each cord once)
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through eternal night
the twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
(moderately fast)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
D C#7 - F#m (strum the last chord
If woman can survive, they may find only once)
Another timeless standard from the 60's!
