Start Jamming...
[C]
I watch my generation die.
[Am] I watch the heads of nations lie.
[F] I watch the homeless on the street.
[C] I stand here helpless just [G] looking at my feet.
I [C] watch the children run away.
[Am] The bullets fly where they would play.
[F] I watch the junkie fade away.
[C] I ain't got an answer, [G] but I sure got things to say.
[C] Hey, hey, I gotta find a way.
The [A] road is dark, gotta light my way.
I [Dm] fight the [F] fear in my [Fm] heart, I [C] pray.
I live [G] to see a brighter [F] day, [C] oh day.
I watch the old folks feel alone.
[Am] They talk to ghosts they used to [C] know.
[F]
Where are the ones that tried?
[C]
Where are the midwives [G] and the newborns' pride?
Yeah, [C]
I wish that I could turn back [G] time,
[Am]
way back before there was corporate crime.
[F]
We'd fight to win the plan, I see,
[C] when the earth was stronger [G] than human greed.
Hey, [C] hey, gotta find a way.
The [A] road is dark, gotta light my way.
I fight [F] the fear in my heart, [C] I pray.
I live to [G] see a [F] brighter day, hey, [C] hey.
I'm not trying to tell you [G] what's right,
or
[Bb] I'm not trying to [C] ever.
[F] [Ab] You gotta hope things [Cm] get better, even [G] when they never.
Hey, hey, hey, [C] hey, hey, I gotta find a way.
Cause the [Am] road is dark, gotta light my way.
Gotta [F] fight the fear in [Fm] my heart, [C] I pray.
I live to [G] see a [C] brighter day.
I gotta find a way.
