THIS OLD WORLD IS CHANGING HANDS
By Phil Ochs, 1964
D G D
Oh, a thousand marching armies and a million marching men
E A
Have won the wide world over and lost it back again,
D G D
But now the word has gone to ev'ry fallen land,
A D
That this old world is changing hands.
D G D
From the master to the servant, from the owner to the slave,
E A
Colonial days are buried in a deep and dirty grave.
D G D
It's so easy to see and well to understand
A D
That this old world is changing hands.
D G D
Washington and Jefferson and Patrick Henry too,
E A
They knew what they were doing when they started something new.
D G D
It was in this giant land of ours that it all began
A D
When this old land was changing hands.
D G D
And when World War Two was rollin' by, the tide was on its way.
E A
Many countries had to listen to the words they had to say,
D G D
And the word was spread by millions, all of yellow, black, and tan,
A D
That this old world is changing hands.
D G D
Now Africa and Asia and the Caribbean shore
E A
No longer can be counted as the spoils of war.
D G D
They were bought and sold together; now together they will stand,
A D
For this old world is changing hands.
