I posted the other version, and it isn’t completely right So this is like a
correction. I actually found an acoustic version of this song and it sounds exactly the same.
(capo 5)
EADGBE
Dm XX0231
Am X02210
C x32010
Em 022000
F 133211
G 320003
Gsus 320013
Dm
Walk in a corner shop
Am
See a shoplifting cop
Dm
See the old lady with a gun
Am
See the hero try 2 run
Dm
Nothing’s what it seems, I mean
Am
It’s not all dirty, but it’s not all clean
Dm
There’s children paying bills
Am
There’s monks buying thrills
Dm
There’s pride for sale in magazines
Am
There’s pills for rent 2 make u clean
Dm
Marvin Gaye, there’s no brother, brother
Am
Woody Guthrie’s land can’t feed Mother
CHORUS:
C Em
Mothers weep, children sleep
Am F
So much violence ends in silence
C G
It’s a shame there’s no one 2 blame
Am F
For all the pain that life brings
C Em Am F
If u will just take me It might just complete me
Dm Gsus G
And together we can make a stand
VERSE 2
A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King’s dream dies
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it’s on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash
BRIDGE:
Am C G Am Am C G Am
U will love me, I will love u
CHORUS
*HINT*
1. The names of the chords only mean the finger position.
2. Use fast downward strums on the beats.
3. When you’re switching from Dm to Am play the open 6th string for the first
downward strum; it sounds really cool.
