Chord Days Of Decision by Phil Ochs

days of decision by phil ochs C oh , the shadows of doubt are in many a mind , Am Dm G lookin’ for an answer they’re never gonna find , Em Dm G but they’d better decide ’cause they’re runnin’ out of time , Dm G for these are the days of decision . oh , the games of stalling you cannot afford , dark is the danger that’s knocking on the door , and the far - reaching rockets say you can’t wait anymore , for these are the days of decision . in the face of the people who know they’re gonna win , there’s a strength that’s greater than the power od the wind , and you can’t stand around when the ice is growing thin , for these are the days of decision . i’ve seen your heads hinding ’neath the blankets of fear , when the paths they are plain and the choices are clear , but with each passing day , boys , the cost is more dear for these are the days of decision . there’s many a cross that burns in the night , and the fingers of the fire are pointing as they bite , oh you can’t let the smoke keep on blinding all your sight , for these are the days of decision . now the mobs of anger are roamin’ the street , from the rooftops they are aimin’ at the police on the beat , and in city after city you know they will repeat , for these are the days of decision . there’s been warnin’s of fire , warnin’s of flood , now there’s the warnin’ of the bullet and the blood , from the three bodies buried in the mississippi mud , sayin’ these are the days of decision . there’s a change in the wind , and a split in the road , you can do what’s right or you can do what you are told , and the prize of the victory will belong to the bold , yes , these are the days of decision .
