There’re some people in this world without any voice.
D C D C D
There’s some people in this world without any choice.
C G D C G D
And they toil day and night, stuck in their plight,
C G D C G D
As the world spins around, as the world spins around.
D C D C D C D C
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
There’re some people in this world, taking everything.
And they never stop to think, what their actions will bring,
As the world spins around, as the world spins around.
There’re some people in this world,
With a spark in their soul,
And they hear the other’s cries,
And they’re ready to arise,
As the world spins around, as the world spins around
Come on people of this world.
We’ve got to heal this place,
Bringing happiness and joy,
To all the human race, to all the human race,
As the world spins around, as the world spins around.
2. Precious Kind of Love

I’m feeling a special kind of feeling.

There’s a glow of peace in my soul

My heart wants to sing a song of love

Now I’m finally whole

It’s a precious kind of love,
E B7
Love of the most Beloved.

It’s a precious kind of love,
E B7 E
Love of the most Beloved.
My thoughts take me higher and higher,
To a place beyond the sky.
I’m bathing in a sea of bliss,
It’s a love no one can deny.
It’s a precious kind of love,
Love of the most Beloved.
It’s a precious kind of love,
Love of the most Beloved.
There’s nothing much more to ask for.
Nothing much more to crave.
I’m riding a surge of devotion,
Surfing on a Cosmic Wave.
It’s a precious kind of love,
Love of the most Beloved.
It’s a precious kind of love,
Love of the most Beloved.
D G D
I woke up this morning looking for you.
D A D
Could find no trace I was feeling so blue.
D G D
Searched the forest, searched the glen,
D A D
Wondering when I would see you again.
G D A D
But then I saw you in my mind
G D A D
With a loving gaze oh so kind.
D G D
Now I see you, now I don’t
D A D
Now I see you, now I don’t.
D
I know you’ll love me
G D
Don’t say you won’t.
D A D
Now I see you, now I don’t
You’re hiding in the sky so wide,
I’m chasing after, don’t care for my pride.
I thought I saw you on the ocean floor,
I plunged within looking for more
I’m gonna catch you, just wait and see
I’ll stick around to eternity.
Now I see you, now I don’t
Now I see you, now I don’t.
I know you’ll love me
Don’t say you won’t.
Now I see you, now I don’t
Why are you playing hide and seek
When all I want is just one peak?
I’m trying to follow your every move,
But you slip away, I can’t find the groove.
I’m not going to give up, I’m not going to quit.
Gonna plant my heart in the place where you sit.
Now I see you, now I don’t
Now I see you, now I don’t.
I know you’ll love me
Don’t say you won’t.
Now I see you, now I don’t
Now I see you, now I don’t.
Now I see you….
4. Make Me Humble
Capo on the third fret
G C D G
Look at everybody walking on the grass yet it pops up once again.
G C D G
It bears the steps and crushing weight without any end.
C D G Em
I’ve got to be just as strong, you know I’m going to carry on.
So,
C D
Make me humble like the grass
G Em
I’ll be as tolerant as a tree
C D
I’ll give respect to all I see
G Em
I’ll sing your name endlessly
Look at the trees giving everything, asking nothing in return.
Fruit and flowers for everyone, it’s a lesson I’m gonna learn.
So,
Make me humble like the grass
I’ll be as tolerant as a tree
I’ll give respect to all I see
I’ll sing your name endlessly
Look at everybody saluting the rich, and the pretty ones too.
But take a look around you for that poor boy next to you.
Give him respect and dignity, it’s the only thing we gotta do.
So,
Make me humble like the grass
I’ll be as tolerant as a tree
I’ll give respect to all I see
I’ll sing your name endlessly
Oh Lord, you gave me a voice and I’m singing just for you.
I’m gonna sing every day and night, my whole life through.
So,
Make me humble like the grass
I’ll be as tolerant as a tree
I’ll give respect to all I see
I’ll sing your name endlessly
5. No More Blood, No More Tears
C F
I’d like to make the bitter sweet,
C G
Trying to see the world complete.
C F
Sometimes I wonder when the job’ll be done
C G C
we’ll fix this globe for everyone.
F C
There’ll be no more blood, no more tears
G C
An end to strife an end to fears.
Can’t you see we missed the boat
We’re in the deep and must sink or float.
Some say it will always be like this
But I don’t buy it and continue to wish
For no more blood, no more tears
An end to strife an end to fears.
The raging storm will one day end,
The long time foe will be our friend.
In a bit of time we’ll se the light
Sort the mess and set everything right.
There’ll be no more blood, no more tears
An end to strife and end to fears.
Am G Em
Everybody’s wondering why the poor are growing poorer.
Am G Em
Politicians say they’re giving more and morer.
Am G Em
People scratch their heads while looking for a reason.
Em G Em
If I tell you the answer, they may try me for treason.
Am
It’s the system people.
Em
It’s the system people.
Am
It’s the system people.
Em
It’s the system people
Tweedle Dee is running for election
Tweedle Dum says he’ll give us some protection.
Nobody is getting to the root of the problems
They’re going round in circles, without a solution.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people
We’re traveling together on a tiny green planet.
Continue like this there’ll be nothing left on it.
It’s time to stop the plunder, the greed and the looting.
It’s time for some healing, some caring and some sharing.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people
You talk about raising the poor from the gutter
but take a look around you at the fat cat’s clutter.
He can live without his Rolls Royce and luxury toys
there will be enough for all, for all our girls and boys.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people.
It’s the system people
D
I’ve been roaming and I’ve been rambling,
G D
I’ve been scrambling down that road.
D
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been moping,
G D
I’ve been carrying a heavy load.
G A
But I’m not gonna cry out anymore,
G A
You gave me what I was looking for
D G D
Thank you, thank you
I’ve been thinking and I’ve been sinking,
I’ve been struggling to find my way.
I’ve been searching, I’ve been yearning,
Waiting for a better day
But I’m not gonna cry out anymore,
You gave me what I was looking for
Thank you, thank you
I’ve been moaning, I’ve been groaning
I’ve been grumbling for oh so long.
I’ve been falling, I’ve been stalling.
Wondering what was wrong.
But I’m not gonna cry out anymore,
You gave me what I was looking for
Thank you, thank you
8. Just Being Good, Is Not Good Enough
Capo on the third fret
G D
I know you follow the rules and are kind to one and all.
G D
You’re a model sort of guy and you’re standing straight and tall.
C G
You’re so good to your kids and your puppy dog too.
C D
I’ve got nothing bad to say about all the things you do.
G D
But who’s gonna tame the beasts and speak out for the meek?
G D
And who’s gonna tell the brutes their lying days are through?
C G
That’s why we’re all crying now and times are getting rough
C D
and just being good is not good enough.
You say it’s not your battle that it’s none of your affairs.
You’ve got better things to do as you hurry down the stairs.
But wait a minute mister you’ve really got it to see.
This is not the work for others, it’s a job for you and me
And who’s gonna tame the beasts and speak out for the meek?
And who’s gonna tell the brutes their lying days are through?
That’s why we’re all crying now and times are getting rough
and just being good is not good enough.
What can I say to move you, and wake you from your sleep?
Our ship lies in tatters as we plunge into the deep
Don’t look to any other to save us from our plight.
There’s no one but you and me on this dark and cloudy night.
And who’s gonna tame the beasts and speak out for the meek?
And who’s gonna tell the brutes their lying days are through?
That’s why we’re all crying now and times are getting rough
and just being good is not good enough.
Capo on sixth fret
Am G
She don’t kill unborn babies, she’s above blame
am G
But moose, deer and caribou are her fair game.
F E7
Now I just don’t get it. I’d really like to know
F E7 Am
Why some lives are sacred and others have to go.
In 10,000 BC it was cool to kill a beast
Human life depended on some scraps of meat.
But time has moved on and we really need to see
What can we do to stop this killing spree.
And I just don’t get it I’d really like to know
Why some lives are sacred and others have to go.
They say that carrying guns is everybody’s right
The Founding Fathers said “fight the good fight.”
But in our schools kids are dying caught in a blight
Of aimless bullets fired in broad day light.
And I just don’t get I’d really like to know
Why some lives are sacred and others have to go.
They say that carrying guns is everybody’s right
The Founding Fathers said “fight the good fight.”
But in our streets kids are dying caught in a blight
Of aimless bullets fired in broad day light
And I just don’t get I’d really like to know
Why some lives are sacred and others have to go.
Capo on fourth fret
D Bm
Why should I worry when You’re here by me?
E G
Why should I worry when it’s plain to see,
D Bm E G
I’ve got You and You’ve got me and we’ll be together till eternity.
G D G Em A D G Em A
Now I’ll lay down my heavy load, as I walk on life’s winding road
I tried so hard, I tried so long, to be a man, oh so strong
Never knew that I had it wrong, for You were with me all along
Now I’ll lay down my heavy load, as I walk on life’s winding road.
I’m fixing my life gonna do it right. Never going to let You out of my sight.
I’ll feel Your love every day and night
My cares dissolve in Your endless light
Now I’ll lay down my heavy load, as I walk on life’s winding road
