Chords for Patti Smith - Patti Smith "Outside Society" EPK

_ _ _ You know, it was an organic process.
_ I can't say that I was ever going to start a band.
It just _ _ happened organically. _
And I would guess _ just, _ _ you know, love of rock and roll,
love of our cultural voice. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The skin of silver sparred from the splinters at stations
and walls out the rest.
Our stages are literarily.
I'm around you, guys.
I'm a capital wave. _
Do you like the world around you?
How you been?
To behave?
Outside of society. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] A [E] nice [N] little song.
_ It's a nice little song.
_ _ _ I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
_ I wouldn't use any description for anything that I do. _ _
I myself _ really _ like _ _ _ _ the freedom of not
having any label at all. _ _ _
I don't really want to be called anything,
except _ _ if I do good work. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Outside of society. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Outside of society. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ Should I pursue a path so [C] twisted? _
Should [Dm] I crawl, [Db] defeated, _ gifted?
And this speaks [A] of the _ [C] continual dilemma of [Dm] the artist,
I think.
[G] Because the night [A] belongs to a lover.
_ [G] Because the night [A] belongs [Bm] to the light.
Because [G]
the night [A] belongs to the night.
I [N] just tried to pick songs that I thought some way _ _ spoke
for the whole band, from its configuration in 1975
to the present, that _ _ _ _ represented different musicians that
have contributed songs _ and _ had something to say politically
or something to say about _ _ _ _ rock and roll, about life.
_ _ Some are love songs.
Because the night, Frederick, _ _ and _ _ Dancing Bearfoot
is a three-tiered song, which speaks [B] of love of people,
_ love of God, [A] and love of [Em] Fred.
She [D] _ is _ [A] _
benediction.
[Em] She [A] _ [Em] is a dictation.
And _ _ [E] really, _
_ [N] _ I just hope people like it, that's all.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] People of the Power, _ [F] which is a [Db] quintessential Fred [C] Simon Smith song.
He [D] _ _ was a humanist, [N] a very _ kind, loving family man,
but a true revolutionary.
And he believed in the power of the _ individual,
as well as the [A] collective power of the people.
[G] Believe in me.
_ [D] In my summer, _ [G] shinin' valleys.
We'll [D] get pure air, through the [G] night.
[N] _ _ _ _ _
_ Best part of being in a rock and roll band is _ [A] _ the camaraderie,
the camaraderie within the band.
It's a brotherhood.
We're public servants.
[N] We're there for the people.
It's one of the most beautiful ways to collaborate _
and to _ _ extend and [Am] magnify our cultural voice.
You ate the summer _ cannibals.
_ [G] Eat, [Am] eat, eat.
[F] You ate the [Am] summer _ cannibals.
[C] Eat, _ [Am] eat, eat.
Rock and roll [A] is the people's art.
It belongs to the [N] people.
And it's just _ _ [G] exactly what's supposed to [Em] happen.
_ _ [A] _ _ People [D] have the power.
_ _ [G] _ _ People [Em] have the power. _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [N] I love to work.
_ _ _ It's a pleasure for me to get up and, _ you know. _ _ _ _
