[Em] [F#] [C] A world [Dm] become one, salad and sun, [C] only a fool, a boy [Dm] with a plan, a natural man, [G] [C] wearing
a white hat.
[Am] [F] But had that bomb been gone, [Em]
there's no one [Dm] to fire upon, he's holding it high, he's carrying
a [Am] lie, I heard [Dm] it was you, talking [Am] bout a world [C] clear, all [D] day in the streets, you just
[F] couldn't keep, [Dm] no [C] way to say that.
The man [Dm] in the streets, dragging his feet, you don't [C] wanna hear the bad news, [Dm] imagine
your face, there in his face, standing [C]
inside his mind.
[Am]
You do [F] his nine to five, [G] you drag yourself [Dm] for a ride, there on the street, a man with
a dream, [Am]
I [G] heard it was [Dm] you, talking [Am] bout a world [C] clear, all day [D]
in the streets, you
just [F] couldn't keep, [C] no way to say that.
[Bm]
Anybody [E] on the street [Am] has [G] roots in [F] his eyes, [C] he's filled [Am] with pain, and [D]
you're younger than
[G] he'll ever [C]
[Am] [Dm]
be.
Only [Em] a fool, [Am] [Dm]
[Am]
[Em]
[Dm] I [C] heard [Dm] it was you, [Am] talking bout a world [C] clear, all [D] day in the streets, you
just [F] couldn't keep, [C] no way to say that.
No way [Dm] to say that.
[F] No way [C] to [Am] say [F] that.
