Here's a second attempt to get the chords lined up (Key switched from A to C) and a bit of tweaking of the lyrics:

Singing in the Dark Times

Chorus:

C----------------G---------------F--------------C
Will there be singing in the dark times to come?
------G-------------------F-----------C-------------------------G
Will brash, unbridled evil cloud our wits and strike us dumb?
-----------------F------------------------G----------C
Will there be rhythms, and harmo-nies, and rhymes?
----------------G--------------------E------------------------C
Will there be songs? Will we be singing—in the dark times?

---------G------------F--------------------C
When empathy is wrong and wrath is right;
-----------G-----------------------F-------------------C---------------------G
When a ghastly shroud blacks out the sun, and turns bright day to night;
----------F-------------------------------C
When malice is a virtue and grace a sin;
------------G--------------------F-------------------C
When it’s all turned upside down, and outside in.

When facts are banned and we’re left with only lies;
When we hear the wildfires crackle, and watch the waters rise;
When violence ‘gainst a woman is excused;
When our planet’s final plea—has been refused. (CHO)

When the weak are blamed for everything that’s wrong;
When we watch the dispossession, of the ones who don’t belong;
-------------F--------------------G-------------------C
When the poor and sick can die if they cannot pay;
--------------G-------------------F----------------------C
When our plans for a better world—have blown a-way.

When the demons have been loosed, and dress like men;
They were only names in a history book, but they’ve come back here again,
--------F--------------------------G--------------C
With play things that they’ve never had be-fore,
---------G------------------F------------------C
So I’m gonna’ sing ‘till I can’t sing—any-more.


Final Chorus:

There will be singing in the dark times to come;
We won’t let evil cloud our wits, nor will it strike us dumb;
--------------F-----------------------G-----------C
We’ll have rhythms, and harmo-nies, and rhymes;
-----------------G--------------------F----------------------C
There will be songs, and we’ll be singing, in the dark times --
-----------------G---------------------F-----------------------C
There will be songs, and we’ll be singing, in the dark times.
