E   E   D   F#m

[Verse 1]
E
Listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat
E
It has a cold wind blowing up through the street
D                F#m
Soul crying out, people crying out
E
In through the valleys, in through the streets
E
Feel the whole world moving underneath our feet
D                           F#m
Something's going on I said what is going wrong
E
I feel them coming so close behind
E
Sister says, we're next in line
E
The man he says, that's OK
E
And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay

[Chorus]
D          F#m
  And you pay
           E
Still you pay
             D               F#m
It's just a soul crying out
               E
It's just the people crying out
          E
It's the land crying out
           E
And I can hear you crying out
       D   A         E   D
And I say, I don't know
 A             E
Maybe I don't care
D
All I know is
   A                E
I gotta get out of here
         D
And I'm going
          F#m
Going any day
           Bm
Some sweet day
            D
Some sweet day
                E
I gotta find a way

E  D  F#m

[Verse 2]
E
I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street
E
See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat
   D
I hear what they say
              F#m
But I don't believe what they say
E
I see the woman, with tears in her eyes
E
I hear the baby, calling in the night
E
Something on the bed, was it something she said
       D
Hell this is not right
          F#m
What goes on through the night
E
I hear her coming, all in my mind
E
Sweet common love, so hard to find
E
Someone said, man outside
E                                              D
And the people walk by, cos they're so blind

[Chorus]
D          F#m
  And you pay
           E
Still you pay
             D
It's just a soul crying out
          F#m
Just the people crying out
          E
It's the earth crying out
E
And I can hear you crying out
E
And I can feel you crying out
       D   A         E   D
And I say, I don't know
 A             E
Maybe I don't care
D
All I know is
   A                E
I gotta get out of here
         D
And I'm going
          F#m
Going any way
         Bm                D
Do you know, some place to go
                    E
I'm getting out of here
              Bm                 D
Where will I find some peace of mind
                    E
I'm getting out of here

[Outro]
                   D
I come walking to you
                  F#m     E
I come singing to you
            D   F#m
Some sweet day
                E
I'm gonna walk away
               E
I'm gonna walk away
               D
It's just the soul crying out
               F#m
It's just the land crying out
                E
It's just the children crying out
E
All the babies crying out
     D              F#m
Any way, some sweet day
                 E
I'm gonna walk away
E
Turn away
               D
It's just the soul crying out
              F#m              E
It's just the land crying out
        D
I wanna hear
            F#m
I want you here
      E
Some sweet day
        D
Just a soul crying out
       F#m                  E
Of a land crying out anyway
          D   F#m
When you say
           E
Some sweet day...
