[F#] People saving w[G#]hales,

Standing [B]up for our old t[C#]rees

Them giving f[F#]ood to the hungry,
[B]Hope to the needy,
Giving[C#] life to a baby,
Giving [B]care for free,
'Cause there is [F#]freedom around us,
We have [B]everything we need,
And I will [C#]care for you,
'Cause you [B]care for me.
And we al[F#]l have opinions,
[B]Some of them get through,
But theres [C#]better people,
With more [B]good to do.

[F#]And what I have could be my se[G#]arch
Or just some wo[B]rds from my [C#]heart
My r[F#]espect to the ones making ch[G#]anges
For all the l[B]ives theyll give their a[C#]ll
Like them giving f[F#]ood to the hungry,
[B]Hope to the needy,
Giving[C#] life to a baby,
Giving [B]care for free,
'Cause there is [F#]freedom around us,
We have [B]everything we need,
And I will [C#]care for you,
'Cause you [B]care for me.
And we al[F#]l have opinions,
[B]Some of them get through,
But theres [C#]better people,
With more [B]good to do.
Good to [F#]do[B][C#][C#]
Riff after chorus:
e|-----------------------|
B|---2/6----6/7----7/9---|
When our w[B]orld it keeps spinning round and[F#] round it goes
Human n[B]ature keeps on spreading its di[F#]sease
And our c[B]hildren keep growing up with w[F#]hat they know
From what we [G#]teach and what they[C#] see
And it's o[B]nly a question of the t[F#]ime we have
And the li[B]ves that our children n[C#]eed
Cause they can [B]only keep growing up with w[F#]hat they know
And what we [G#]teach, and what they s[C#]ee
Like giving food t[F#]o the hungry,
[B]Hope to the needy,
Giving[C#] life to a baby,
Giving [B]care for free,
'Cause there is [F#]freedom around us,
We have [B]everything we need,
And I will [C#]care for you,
'Cause you [B]care for me.
And we al[F#]l have opinions,
[B]Some of them get through,
But theres [C#]better people,
With more [B]good to do.
Good to [F#]do[B][C#][C#]
Oooo good to [F#]do [B][C#][C#]
[F#]
