Verse 1
G 
What we are, what we own,
D 
C 
and the money's good
Em 
For keeping us how we're
D 
G 
accustomed to
D 
And everything's closer than our fingertips
C 
Em 
D 
G 
But most of the world don't live like this
D 
C 
So I went to the city for a bit of time
Em 
Well, I was try ing to get the government
D 
G 
to change its mind
And just a bunch of ordinary
D 
C 
folks on a march
Em 
Headed for the treasury,
D 
G 
looking for the heart
If there is one
D 
And though the rain is hard
G 
C 
and the sky is gray
D 
G 
C 
I'm looking for a sign on a cruel day
Am 
And there's a brave precise
D 
G 
C 
to bring me around
Em 
I see a butterfly trapped on
G 
the underground
D 
Em 
Yeah, yeah
C 
A butterfly trapped on the
G 
D 
Em 
C 
underground
G 
You see a mother walks
D 
C 
over 16 miles
Em 
Because the medicine's scarce
D 
G 
for an African child
But here I reach with the phone
D 
C 
on the National Hill
Em 
You know sometimes we just
D 
G 
D 
G 
don't know our wealth
And though we talk about our rights,
D 
C 
we make them work for free
Em 
And though we mess with our lives,
D 
G 
their economies
And we take what they have
D 
C 
and we leave them with debt
Em 
And we promise them things
D 
G 
that they've never had yet
D 
G 
Will they ever?
D 
And though the rain is hard
G 
C 
and the sky is grey
D 
G 
C 
I'm looking for sun on a cruel day
Am 
And there's a brave few signs
D 
G 
C 
to bring me round
Em 
A sinking butterfly trapped on
G 
the underground
D 
Em 
Yeah, yeah,
C 
D 
a butterfly trapped on the
G 
D 
Em 
C 
underground
D 
Someone in here open a window
C 
D 
Someone in here open the window
Come on
C 
G 
C 
Someone in here open
D 
the window
C 
D 
Someone needs to open the window
G 
D 
Em 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
C 
Because you're trapped
G 
D 
on the underground
Em 
C 
D 
And though the rain is hard
G 
C 
and the sky is grey
D 
G 
C 
I'm looking for sun on a cruel day
Am 
Unless I pray for science
D 
G 
C 
to bring me round
And won't you bring me round?
Em 
We'll see a butterfly trapped
G 
on the underground
D 
Em 
Yeah, yeah
C 
G 
A butterfly trapped on the
D 
Em 
C 
G 
underground
