[E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] There [D] was a man in the jungle [A] trying to make ends meet
Found himself one [G] day with an [A] axe in his hand
When [D] a boy said, buddy, can you [A] spare that tree?
Gotta save this world, stop him with your hand
Was a rock and roll kiddy there from the USA
Knew him three to the [G] gun and had a [A] big white car
Then he [D] sang and he sang till he [A] polluted the air
Then he blew a lot of smoke from a Cuban [Em] cigar
And the stars are going down
[B] Through a hole in the sky
[Em] And they can [B] see they cry, that's [C] obvious
_ [G] _ _
[Em] And the walls are coming down
To the west and the east
You don't have to be a hippie to [B] believe in the beast That's obvious
[C] _ _
[A] It's obvious
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] Obvious
There was [D] a kid in the city selling [Am] crack to get by
Got caught one day with a gun [A] in his hand
When a boss said, okay, get him up [Am] in the air
You're too young to live like [A] this, but you ain't too fast to die
Just [D] another foot soldier in a [A] stupid war
Another sound bite on the American scene
Love between this and fire on the dream of money
The demand of a man with [G] money who needs [A] a little help [Em] to dream
So we starve all the teachers
And recruit marines
How come we don't even know why that beast is obvious?
[C] _ [Em] _ _
And the walls are coming down
Between the eagle and the dove
You don't have to be a [B] hippie to believe in the beast That's [C] obvious
_ [G] _ _
[A] _ [A] Obvious _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _

_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ Cause the walls are coming [G] down
Between the [B] eagle and the dove
You don't [D] have to be a hippie to [A] believe in love
The walls are coming down
To the west and the east
You don't have to be a hippie to believe in the beast That's obvious
[G] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ [A] That's obvious _ _ _
_ _ Cause the walls are coming down
[G] Between the eagle [A] and the dove
You don't have [D] to be a hippie to believe [A] in love
The walls [D] are coming down
Between the west [A] and the east
You don't have to be a hippie to believe in the beast That's obvious
[G] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ [Am] That's [D] obvious
