From Way Up Here
Pete Seeger
This is a key that Pete has played this song in. Now when he breaks and whistles I don’t think he is playing the same chords. It’s so quiet it’s hard to tell but what I have written goes well with the melody. From way up here the earth looks very small It’s just a little ball of rock and sea and sand No bigger than my hand. From way up here the earth looks very small They shouldn’t fight at all Down there upon that little sphere. Chorus: Their time is short a life is just a day You’ think they’ find way. You’d think they’d get along And fill their sunlit days with song. Whistling: From way up here the earth is very small It’s just a little ball so small so beautiful and dear. Chorus: Their time is short a life is just a day Must be a better way To use the time that runs among the distant suns. From way up here the earth is very small It’s just a little ball so small so beautiful and dear
