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 do no nothing not a [D5]thing[A5]

A5
Do you see your son out on the street?

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

A5
Do you cry, do you weep?

Do you see the World as only tragedy?

Pre-chorus:
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] In the early [G5]mornin' there were [G5]revelations [G5]in my mind

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

Chorus 1:

[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether

[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether

Verse 2:
( Palm muted continuously until chord change)

A5
It's a crime, this dark time

We wait for presidents who never turn the [D5]tide[A5]

A5
I find it hard, I find it strange

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

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] Bring the people to[C5]gether

[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether.... [A5]Yeah

[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether

[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether.... [A5]Yeah

(Continue strumming A5 into bridge)

Bridge:

[Em] Bring the people to[A]gether

[Em] For the sake of these [A]children we leave behind

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

Solo:
Note: A second guitar continuously strums G5 chord
until end of solo as rhythm backing

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 do no nothing not a [D5]thing[A5]

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

Is this the World or just some everyday bee[D5]hive?[A5]

[A5] We need it now, yeah, we need it quick

Listen to lovers, better quit it with this shit
