[Verse 1]
            E  
People are suffering, I'll say it again
            E
People are suffering, I'll say it again
            E
People are suffering, I'll say it again
    E
So remember when you're looking for trouble
      D
That trouble is already busy with weaker men

[Verse 2]
            E (with riff)
People are hungry, I'll say it again
            E
People are hungry, I'll say it again
            E
People are hungry, I'll say it again
    E
So don't you abuse that body,
        D
it'll stop without assistance, my friends

[Chorus]
 F
Song goes on (I'll sing again until the music enervates)
 F
Song goes on (The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away)
 F
This song goes on (Through centuries of history it reverberates)
 F
This song goes on (On curving comets track the music makes it way)
 Bb   F       C  G      D        A       E     B
This song is so long it ends up where it be---gins

E 4x

People are lonely, I'll say it again
            E
People are lonely, I'll say it again
            E
People are lonely, I'll say it again
    E
So don't let 'em run too far from home
            D
You'll be alone for sure, on that you can depend

People are bleeding, I'll say it again
E    E E   G D        E    E E   G D
People are bleeding, I'll say it again
    E
So put away that switch blade knife
     D
And tighten the knot that'll help this bloodshed end

[Outro]
            E
People are suffering, I'll say it again and again and again and again

            E
People are lonely, I'll say it again and again and again and again...
I'll say it again...
