I bless you madly
Bm    Bb           D
Sadly as I tie my shoe
            D/C
I love you badly
Bm       Bb                D   D/C
Just in time, at times, I guess
  Bm        Bb            D   D/C
Because of you I need to rest
 Bm          Bb                 D
Because it~s you that sets the test

Eb                    Bbm
So much has gone and little is new
Bbm           A
And as the sparrow sings
       F#
Dawn chorus for
 Bbm
Someone else to hear
Bbm          A
The thinker sits alone
  F#     Bbm
Growing older

And so bitter

F                               Bbm
~~I gave Them life, I gave Them all
     C                Fm
They drained my very soul...dry
F                              
I crushed my heart to ease Their 
   Bbm
pains
      C              Fm         Ab
No thought for me remains there
Bbm              Db
Nothing can they spare
         C
What of me?

Am                            
Who praised Their efforts to be 
             F
free?
 G                            
Words of strength and care and 
              C
sympathy
Am                                
I open doors that would have 
                        F
blocked their way
   G                             
I braved Their cause to guide for 
                       C
little pay
Am                                
I ravaged at my finanace just for 
           F
Those
                 G                 
Those whose claims were steeped in 
                              C
peace, tranquility
Am                                
Those who said a new world, new 
                        F
ways ever free
Those whose promises stretched in 
  G                                
hope and grace for me.~~

So much has gone and little is new
Bbm              A
And as the sunrise stream
 F#             Bbm
Flickers on me
                   Bbm     A
My friends talk of glory, untold 
dream
        F#                 Bbm
Where all is God and God is just a 
word

        C                 Fm
Who spoke of many powers that he had
 F                                 
Not of the best of men but Ours
 Bbm

    C                          
We used him, We let him use his 
   Fm             Ab
powers
   Bbm                  Db
We let him fill our needs
                 C
Now we are strong.

Am                                
And the road is coming to its end
       F

 G                                 
Now the damned have not time to 
                C
make amends
Am                                
No purse of token fortunes stands 
                      F
in Our way
     G                             
The silent guns of love will blast 
         C
the sky

Am                            
We broke the ruptured structure 
                          F
build of age
        G                          
Our weapons were tongues of crying 
             C
rage
         Am                        
Where money stood we planted seeds 
                     F
of rebirth
        G                        
And stabbed the backs of fathers, 
                        C
sons of dirt

  Am
Infiltrated business cesspools
                    F
Hating through Our sleeves
                 G
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
                           C
Stoned the poor on slogans as:


        -Wish You Could Hear-
                             Am
        -Love Is All We Need-

        -Kick Out The Jams-

        -Kick Out Your Mother-
          F
        -Cut Up Your Friend-
        -Screw Up Your Brother or 
                 G
He~ll Get You In the End-

          C                        
And We Know the Flag of Love is 
                     Am
from Above
                F
And We Can Force You to Be Free
                G                  
And We Can Force You to Believe.~~
        C


And I close my eyes and tighten up 
Am
my brain
For I once read a book in which the 
              F
lovers were slain
For they Knew not the words of the 
                     G
Free States~ refrain,

It said:

 C
~~I Believe in the Power of Good
    Am
I Believe in the State of Love
           F
I Will Fight For the Right to be 
Right
          G
C
I Will Kill for the Good of the 
Fight for the Right to be Right.~~

                   Am              
And I open my eyes to look around
        F

And I see a child laid slain on the 
             G
ground
C                         Am
As a love machine lumbers through 
desolation rows
F                          G
Ploughing down man, woman, listening
 to its command
           C
But not hearing anymore-
        Am               F
Not hearing anymore
                G
Just the shrieks from the old rich

                    C
And I Want to Believe
                           G
In the madness that calls ~Now~
                    C
And I Want to Believe
That a light is shining through 
   G
somehow

                    Bb
And I Want to Believe
                        F
And You Want to Believe
                     C
And We Want to Believe
                    G
And We Want to Live
                    Ab
Oh, We Want to Live
