Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
You said you (C major) didn't know
That the cats (D minor) with the bugs were there (F major)
And you never go (G major) along with that
kind (E major) of stuff nowhere (A minor)
But that just isn't the point (C major) man
That's the (D minor) wrong wrong way to go
If (F major) you didn't know about (G major) that one,
well then (E major) what else don't you know (A minor)
You said that you were lied (C major) to
Well (D minor) that ain't hard too see (F major)
But you must have been fooled (G major) again by
your friends (E major) across the sea (A minor)
And maybe you were fooled (C major) again by
your (D minor) people here at home
Because (F major) nobody could talk (G major) like you
And (E major) know what's going on (A minor)
Nobody elected your family (C major)
And we (D minor) didn't elect your friends
No one (F major) voted for your advisers (G major)
And nobody (E major) wants the men (A minor)
You're the one we voted (C major) for,
so you (D minor) must take the blame
For (F major) handing out authority (G major)
to men (E major) who were insane (A minor)
(C major) (D minor) (F major) (G major) (E major)
(A minor) You say its all fixed (C major) up now,
you've got new (D minor) guys on the line
(F major) But you had better remem (G major) ber this
while (E major) you still got the time (A minor)
Mothers still are weep (C major) ing for
their (D minor) boys that went to war
(F major) Father still are ask (G major) ing what
the whole (E major) damn thing was for (A minor)
And People still are hungry (C major)
and (D minor) people still are poor
(F major) And on this week of work (G major) these days
don't feed (E major) the kids no more (A minor)
Schools are still like (C major) prison
'Cause we (D minor) don't learn how to live
And (F major) everybody want (G major) s to take,
nobody (E major) wants to give (A minor) (C major) (D minor) (F major)
(G major) (E major) (A minor)
Yes you will be remembered, (C major)
be re (D minor) membered very well
(F major) And if I live a long (G major) life,
all the stories (E major) I could tell (A minor)
A mans who falls in (C major) poverty
of sickness (D minor) and of grief
Hell yes (F major)
You will be remembered,
(G major) be re (E major) membered very well (A minor)
You said you did (C major) n't know
That the that the cats (D minor) with the
bugswere there (F major)
You'd never go (G major) along with that
kind (E major) of stuff nowhere (A minor)
But that just isn't the point (C major) man
That's the wrong, (D minor) wrong way to go
(F major) You did
