Or soon you'll be gone Papers, they print it every day Housewife, wraps the garbage then throws it away I don't guess she thinks they have that much to say But when the time is right she'll be the lady with so much to pay Repeat chorus: History, it teaches much too well Nations, had to rise up before they fell And my eyes see the story they're tryin' to tell And tonight I think I heard the final toll of the bell Repeat chorus C G F Seems I've been fightin' it all along F F I've been a fightin' and a fightin' Got to bend a little no matter which side you're on It's a long and and dirty battle It seems I've been fightin' it all along I've been a tearin' and a pullin' Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on Yes I know cause It seems I've been fightin' it all along I've been a punchin' and a gougin' And it seems no matter which side you're on I've been a tearin' and a rippin' and It seems I've been fightin' it all along It don't matter 'cause you know you Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on You got to bend a little backwards Cause it seems I've been fightin' it all along Cause it seems I've been fightin'... You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on ---------------------------------------------------------------| Chord diagrams: E - |o221oo| Esus2 - |o22120| A - |oo222o--| G - |32ooo3| C - |x32o1o| F - |xx3211--| Bb? - |x1232o| -------------------------------------------------------------- transcribed by Arleen Myers (myera@ils.unc.edu) August '95 ----------------------------------------------------------------- www.TAB6.com
