(First verse is sung a cappella, second verse just picks the bass note of each chord, and the rest of the song is fingerpicked.)
It's another world we live
in here so radical and clean
Every Saturday we protest
things out on the campus green
And we came from far to
find this place where hearts and minds are free
And we walk together on
the grass in peaceful anarchy
Where the (F)things we've
a(G)massed are unde(C)niably sur(Am)passed
By the (F)value of our (G)goals
and how (C)high we can (Am)reach
So when (F)no one can (G)pass
Professor (C)Leon Siegel's (Am)class
It's o(F)kay because we
(G)still absorb the (F)great things (G)he can (C)teach
We send our (F)greetings
(G)from the (C)terrari(Am)um
That (F)earthy college (G)paradise
where (C)kids can work and (Am)play
But you know that (F)when
we leave (G)from this ter(C)rari(Am)um
We're told that (F)we are
going to (G)save the (F)world some(C)day
It's an(C)other world we
live in 'midst the (Am)placid greenery
We can (F)talk about disaster
and admire the scen(C)ery
When we cannot find an answer
to our (Am)Nicaraguan war
We can (F)order out for
pizza and deliver it some (C)more
But while (F)nothing much
gets (G)done and what we (C)do just (C/B)looks like (Am)fun
You must re(F)member what
we (G)do is more (C)important (C/B)than it (Am)sounds
For when a (F)case is well
(G)done in Consti(C)tution (C/B)10(Am)1
We know that (F)bigger trials
are (G)possible to (F)win on bigger (C)grounds
We extend our (F)greetings
(G)from the ter(C)ra(C/B)ri(Am)um
That (F)earthy college (G)paradise
where (C)kids can (C/B)work and (Am)play
But you know that (F)when
we leave (G)from this ter(C)ra(C/B)ri(Am)um(F)
We're told that we are going
to (G)save the (F)world some(C)day
There's a (C)fear that you
will sell your dreams for (Am)stock and cut your hair
As you (F)throw your graduation
cap up in the real world (C)air
Then you see a man in uniform
ap(Am)proaching your best friend
As he (F)shakes the woman's
hand he says "We need a few good (C)men"
And it (F)really breaks your
(G)heart to know she (C)majored (C/B)in Greek (Am)art
And now your (F)pacifistic
(G)friend asks for his (C)card just (C/B)like a (Am)queen
Yeah, but (F)then you'll
watch her (G)smile and start to (C)shred that little (Am)card apart
And the (F)small white pieces
(G)flutter down like (F)doves upon the (C)green
We still get (F)greetings
(G)from the ter(C)ra(C/B)ri(Am)um
That (F)earthy college (G)paradise
that (C)we all (C/B)loved and (Am)ran
And you know that (F)now
that we're (G)gone from the ter(C)ra(C/B)ri(Am)um(F)
We may not save the world
but (G)we know that we'll (F)do the best we (C)can
