G D
Talk
to me Sunday preacher man
C G
Tell
me give my money to the government
C G
As
long as I pay their rent
F E
I’m
an all right guy
F E
They
forgot to tell me why
G D
So
I called up the TV station
C G
To
tell him he was wrong
C G
All
I got was a two-bit story
F E
And
a three point forty-eight song
F E
It
lasted much too long
G D
Well
I was walkin' down the street the other day
C G
I
came across some kids at play
C G
Asked
them if they’d live another day
F E
And
they said, “No - Let’s get high
F
E
You
know I think that we’re all gonna die”
G D
Well
I said, “No thanks but please man
C G
I’ve
already had that disease
C G
I’ve
seen my years go by
F E
Like
the clouds in the sky
F E
You
can see them passin' by”
G D C G
So
I don’t wanna hear about your great compromise
C G F E
When
you finally find the truth you’re gonna be surprised
F E
Oh,
you’re gonna be so surprised
F E
Oh,
you’re gonna be so surprised
G D C G
You
can tie my body down with your high-grade chains of steel
C G F E
But
my spirit still runs free - At least that’s the way I feel
F E
That’s
the way I feel
F E
That’s
the way I feel
G D C G
What
do we do about our self evolution?
C G F E
Fight
off pollution and beat the dust from our souls
F E
I
gotta beat the dust from my soul
F E
We
gotta beat the dust off our souls
