(Listen to recording for strumming pattern)

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

                                                         D5    A5
I can't stay, I can't leave, I can't do no nothing not a thing

A5*
    Do you see your son out on the street?

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

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               G5                 G5          G5
    In the early mornin' there were revelations in my mind

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


Chorus 1:

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together


Verse 2:
(* = Palm muted continuously until chord change)

A5*
    It's a crime, this dark time

                                          D5   A5
We wait for presidents who never turn the tide

A5*
    I find it hard, I find it strange

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

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                     C5
    Bring the people together

F5                     C5         A5
    Bring the people together.... Yeah

F5                     C5
    Bring the people together

F5                     C5         A5
    Bring the people together.... Yeah


(Continue strumming A5 into bridge)


Bridge:

Em                     A
    Bring the people together

Em                        A
    For the sake of these children we leave behind

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

I can't stay, I can't leave, I can't do no nothing not a thing

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

                                           D5   A5
Is this the World or just some everyday beehive?
