Chord Thats The Way Its Gonna Be by Phil Ochs

it’s the same chords throughout the whole song . both he and the chad mitchel version have some embellishment in the bass of the chords , i haven’t quite figured out what he’s doing , but this will get you what you’re looking for . Em C9 B7 Em if you say all the good times are gone , Em C9 B7 Em if you say this rain will keep rainin’ on - - Am D Em i’ll walk along with my head held high; Am D G Em i’ll find a song and i’ll sing it to the sky - - Am D G Em i may be wrong but i’ll live ’til i die . C Am that’s the way it’s gonna be . B wait and see . even though you say hard times knock at my door , though you say i’ll never smile any more - - i just imagine that i’m ten feet tall , then if i try i can climb the highest wall , it doesn’t matter if i slip down and fall : that’s the way it’s gonna be . wait and see . just you wait and see . even though you say i’ve reached the end of my row , though you say my times are all running low - - it’s been so long since i tried to frown , that old man trouble will never get me down . it’s all that easy when you know where you’re bound . that’s the way it’s gonna be . wait and see . even though you say all the good times are gone , though you say this rain will keep rainin’ on - - i’ll walk along with my head held high; i’ll find a song and i’ll sing it to the sky - - i may be wrong but i’ll live ’til i die . that’s the way it’s gonna be . wait and see . just you wait and see .
