Verse 1

C                              G7                 C
What difference will it make a hundred years from now

Verse 2

                                         G7
I know it's all over soon you'll tell me goodbye
                                          F         C
But I won't cry on your shoulder and I'll never ask why
                                       C7         F
That's the way the old bell rings I'll forget you somehow
                        C      G7                 C
What difference will it make a hundred years from now

Verse 3

  G7                                         C
A hundred years from now we'll be in another world
     D7                          G7
What difference could it make if one day I lost my girl
C                         C7            F
If I lose you tomorrow or if I lose you now
                        C      G7                 C
What difference will it make a hundred years from now

Verse 4

                                          G7
I'll daydream no longer I'd be fooling my heart
                               F            C
Why promise it you dear when I know we must part
                          C7              F
I've lost you forever but I'll get by somehow
                        C      G7                 C
What difference will it make a hundred years from now

Verse 5

  G7                                              C
A hundred years from now you won't be a memory to me
  D7                      G7
I won't recall loving you it's only today's misery
C                         C7            F
If I lose you tomorrow or if I lose you now
                        C      G7                 C
What difference will it make a hundred years from now
