Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) Come all ye
Jewish boyfriends that (C major) live here in
New
York.
For (G major) years we have been reading
your del (D major) icatessen talk.
Now (G major) it's time to enter in our
(C major) bodies and to scream.
(G major) Now's the time to wake up from
the (D major) international dream. (G major)
Two generations you've hidden
your light (C major) and your sex.
Your (G major) parents starved to master matter
and your (D major) consciousness perplexed.
Now (G major) all these matter junkies
are lost (C major) in
Moloch's maw
You're (G major) left alone in universe,
your (D major) habits to with (G major) draw
Come all ye black boys that (C major) live on
New
York streets
Slaved (G major) for decades in
Harlem, beat (D major) and jailed by police
Rise (G major) up ye rainbow consciousness
over (C major)
Manhattan
Isle
Let (G major) loose the joy of mastery,
(D major) conquer the white (G major) style.
Come all ye
Puerto
Rican cats, ex (C major) iled from tropic sun,
To (G major) labor in the ice and soot of
(D major) poisonous capitalism.
(G major) Beat your drums and chang guitars,
(C major) proclaim your softest joy,
Ye (G major) will not drink from white beer cans,
nor (D major) be a junkie (G major) boy.
Come all ye
Amerindians that (C major) drink in
Brooklyn's bars
Let (G major) loose your ancient buffalo cry
Chant (D major) under
Sand
Street stars, (G major) re deem the mental nation
Wake (C major) the great mother's corpse,
(G major) human body's yours
Still whatever (D major) iron (G major) warps
Come,
O poet -Italians,
long (C major) scared of the syndicate,
Secret (G major) death and blackmail made
(D major) your brains work late.
(G major) Sing over the rooftops your (C major) ancient
Cumaian blues,
Dance (G major) with your
Afric brothers,
the world's (D major) old tender (G major) news.
Come out, you
Greeks and
Russians, ye
(C major) Arabs and ye
Slavs,
Boo (G major) gie -woogie down
Broadway
Weep (D major) tears of many loves
Amer (G major) ica was lost
Ye (C major) children found her again
Squat (G major) ting on the planet
Belly full (D major) of metal sin (G major)
Highways full of speed
Brains (C major) city full of junk
(G major) Television blew her mind
Her (D major) eyes are plastic gunk
Every (G major) little scream she made
was (C major) cause for planet war
Oh, (G major) soulful
Eastern boys and girls,
lead (D major) home our mother whore (G major)
Oh,
Polish boys jumped up from
Clev (C major) eland,
Chicago seed
Stop (G major) eating meat, kielbasa,
(D major) sausage, lonely greed
One (G major) acre's grainy labor,
or (C major) one acre of green
Yield (G major) s instead of pigs,
twenty times (D major) the same pro (G major) tein.
White boys of
Manhattan, (C major) white girls of
New
York,
Come (G major) gather all together,
your (D major) loves for the great work.
Kneel (G major) down, adore your brothers
and (C major) sisters of soul and skin.
Lay (G major) hands on all your bodies,
your (D major) touch makes the world (G major) skin
O come ye children that grew up,
New
(C major) York around your ears
This (G major) century ends with brimstone,
or (D major) else your tender tears
(G major) Gather vigour in heart,
gather (C major) intellect in your brains
When
(G major) God stiffens your spine,
Only motion (D major) remain (G major) s.
