Verse One:
A9AC+7C
I wanted to be with you alone
A9AC+7C
And talk about the weather
A9AC+7C
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
A9AC+7C
Won't escape my attention
A9AC+7C
You keep your distance with a system of touch
A9AC+7C
And gentle persuasion
A9AC+7C
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
A9AC+7C
Oh you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time
Chorus:
GEm
Something happens and I'm head over heels
GEm
I never find out 'til I'm head over heels
GEm
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Am/D
Ah don't take my heart don't break my heart don't
don't don't throw it away
A9AC+7C
Throw it away
A9AC+7C
Throw it away
Verse two (as verse one):
I made a fire and watching it burn
I thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No, no, no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
(Chorus)
Verse Three (add tab Intro throughout):
CDsus4
And this is my four leaf clover
CDsus4
I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover
CDsus4
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
CDsus4
La la la la la, la la la la in my mind's eye
C
One little boy, one little man, funny how
Am/D
Time flies

Verse One:
Fmaj7Ab
I Believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
Gm7Ebmaj7Gm
We will be strong, oh yes we will be strong
Fmaj7Ab
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Gm7Ebmaj7Gm
Is it absurd or am I being real?
Fmaj7Ab
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
Gm7Ebmaj7
They would just pour like every drop of rain
Gm/CAb/DAbmaj7Ab
(Intro)
That's why I believe it is too late
for anyone to believe
Verse Two:
I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign yourself, resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve?
That's why I believe it is too late
for anyone to believe
Verse Three:
I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness,
In the nighttime, in the storm,
In the casino
Casino Spanish eyes
I believe, no I can't believe
that every time you hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life

EmG
All around me are familiar faces,
DA
worn out places, worn out faces,
EmG
Bright and early for their daily races,
DA
going nowhere, going nowhere,
EmG
And their tears are filling up their glasses,
DA
no expression, no expression,
EmG
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow,
DA
no tomorrow, no tomorrow,
EmA
And I find it kind of funny,

I find it kind of sad,

The dreams in which I'm dying
Em
Are the best I've every had.

I find it hard to tell you,

Sit and listen, sit and listen.

Went to school and I was very nervous,

No one knew me, no one knew me,

Look right through me, look right through me

There's only need, I love your need,

So much I'm losing me.

I cannot see the reason for the pain.

With hungry joy, I'll be your toy,

Just hoping you will play,

Without the hope, my body starts to fail
BmB
Memories fade but the scars still linger,
C
Goodbye my friend,
Am
Will I ever love again,
BmBCAm
Memories fade but the scars still linger... oh.....
(slide base E 5th fret down to open)
I cannot grow, I canot move,
I cannot feel my age,
The vice like grip of tension holds me fast,
Engulged by you, what can I do,
When history's my cage.
Look forward to a future in the past.
The more I talk, the more I say,
The less you seem to hear.
I'm speechless in a most peculiar way.
Your mind is weak, your need is great,
And nothing is too dear,
For you to use to take the pain away.
Memories fade,
No don't pretend you can justify the end,
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Fmaj7
How can I be sure
G
when your intrusion is my illusion?
Fmaj7
How can I be sure?
G
when all the time you changed my mind
Fmaj7
I asked for more and more.
Am
How can I be sure?
CAm
When you don't give me love
GD
(you give me Pale Shelter)
CAm
You don't give me love
GD
(you give me cold hands)
CAmGD
And I can't operate on this failure
CAm
When all I want to be is
DCFB7
Completely in command
How can I be sure,
for all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure,
when all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more,
How can I be sure
I've been here before,
there is no why, no need to try,
I thought you had it all,
I'm calling you, I'm calling you,
I ask for more and more,
How can I be sure?

Verse One:
Gm7F
High time we made a stand
Eb+7Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
Eb+7Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Eb+7Am/D
DJ's the man we love the most
Gm7F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
Eb+7Am7
And smash every hope of democracy
Eb+7Am/D
As the headline says you're free to choose
Eb+7Am/D
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
Eb+7Am/D
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
Chorus:
CC+7Am
Sowing the seeds of love
Am+7F+7
Seeds of love
AbG7
Sowing the seeds
(Repeat)
Verse two (same chords as verse one):
I spy, tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
intervention, food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
(Chorus)

Verse Three: Feel the pain, talk about it
F+7Eb+7
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
F+7Eb+7
Open hearts, feel about it
F+7Eb+7
Open minds, think about it
F+7Eb+7
Everyone, read about it
F+7Eb+7
Everyone, scream about it
F+7Eb+7
Everyone, everyone
F+7Eb+7
Everyone, read about it
EbD7
Read it in the books,
in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read
(Chorus - omit words)

Time to eat all your words
Eb+7Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7F
Time to eat all your words
Eb+7Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7F
High time we made a stand
Eb+7Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
Eb+7Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Eb+7Am/D
Every minute of every hour
Eb+7Am/D
I love a sunflower
Eb+7Am/DEb+7Am/DEb+7Am/DEb+7Am/D
And I believe in love power, love power, love
power
(Chorus)
Ending:
AbG7
Sowing the seeds
AbG7
An end to need
AbG7
And the politics of greed
G
It's a sad affair,
G7
when there's no one there,
CG
He calls out in the night.
And it's so unfair,
G7
at least it seems that way,
CG
when you gave him his life.
F
And all this time he's been getting you down,
C
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around,
F
And convince him,
C
Oh just talk to him,
F
Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon,
C
And he's an only child in an only room
F
And he's dependent on you
C
Oh he's dependent on you
And it seems so strange,
That at the end of the day,
Making love can be so good,
But the pain of birth,
Oh what is it worth,
When it don't turn out the way that it should
F#m9Amaj7Dmaj7
When in love with a blind man
Bm
You watch what you say
F#m9
And watch yourself burn
Amaj7
With dreams of escaping
Dmaj7
Make love to the man
Bm
Who shapes your behaviour
F#m9Amaj7Dmaj7
When in love with blind man
Bm
You love on your own
F#m9
To an occasional smile
Amaj7
You never know why but
Dmaj7
Sometimes he smiles
Bm
And sometimes just lies there
So jealous
