Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Redemption Song Chords

_ _ _ _ I'd like to say that people, _ people can change anything they want to.
And that means everything in the world.
I don't, show me any country and there'll be people in it.
_ It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time.
_ You know, think on that.
Without people you're nothing.
