(Listen to recording for strumming

A5 (strum)


Verse 1:
(* = Palm muted continuously until 
chord change)

A5*
    I was lost, I am found, all the 
building's are burnt to the ground

I can't stay, I can't leave, I can't
                     D5    A5
 do no nothing not a thing

A5*
    Do you see your son out on the 
street?

Is that a gun or just the Father 
        D5     A5
that he needs?

A5*
    Do you cry, do you weep?


Do you see the World as only 
tragedy?


Pre-chorus:
Continúa después del anuncio
Note: Each chord is strummed once;
      then 5 muted harmonics are 
played quickly between each chord.
      To do this, keep your pointer 
finger lightly touching the E string
 on
      the 3rd fret and strum away. 
You'll hear the same sound as on the
 CD.


G5               G5              
    In the early mornin' there 
   G5          G5
were revelations in my mind

G5                 G5             
    I can hear the masters cryin' 
G5                         G5
out from their graves most every 
night


Chorus 1:

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together


Verse 2:
(* = Palm muted continuously until 
chord change)

A5*
    It's a crime, this dark time

We wait for presidents who never 
         D5   A5
turn the tide

A5*
    I find it hard, I find it 
strange

Go to the movies, have Picasso paint
      D5   A5
 your cage

A5*
    I've had enough, I think I'm 
done


So sell me down the river, I'll be 
waiting there in love


(Repeat Pre-chorus)


Chorus 2:

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together

F5                     C5         
    Bring the people together.... 
A5
Yeah

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together

F5                     C5         
    Bring the people together.... 
A5
Yeah


(Continue strumming A5 into bridge)


Bridge:

Em                     A
    Bring the people together

Em                        A
    For the sake of these children 
we leave behind

Em                    A
    Can you remember.... a time?

Verse 3:

(bass only)
I was lost, I am found, all the 
building's are burnt to the ground

I can't stay, I can't leave, I can't
                     D5    A5
 do no nothing not a thing

A5
    Tell me, is this a nation? Is 
this a tribe?

Is this the World or just some 
            D5   A5
everyday beehive?

A5

 quick


Listen to lovers, better quit it
