^A5* I was lost, I am found, all the building's are burnt to the ground I can't stay, I can't leave, I can't do no nothing not a ^D5thing ^A5

^A5* Do you see your son out on the street' Is that a gun or just the Father that he ^D5needs' ^A5

^A5* Do you cry, do you weep'

Do you see the World as only tragedy' Pre-chorus: Note: Each chord is strummed once; then 5 muted harmonics are played quickly between each chord. To do this, keep your pointer finger lightly touching the E string on the 3rd fret and strum away. You'll hear the same sound as on the CD.

^G5 In the early ^G5mornin' there were ^G5revelations ^G5in my mind ^G5 I can hear the ^G5masters cryin' ^G5out from their graves most ^G5every night

Chorus 1:

^F5 Bring the people to^C5gether ^F5 Bring the people to^C5gether

Verse 2: (* = Palm muted continuously until chord change)

^A5* It's a crime, this dark time We wait for presidents who never turn the ^D5tide ^A5

^A5* I find it hard, I find it strange Go to the movies, have Picasso paint your ^D5cage ^A5

^A5* I've had enough, I think I'm done

So sell me down the river, I'll be waiting there in love (Repeat Pre-chorus) Chorus 2:

^F5 Bring the people to^C5gether ^F5 Bring the people to^C5gether.... ^A5Yeah

(Continue strumming A5 into bridge) Bridge:

^Em Bring the people to^Agether ^Em For the sake of these ^Achildren we leave behind

^Em Can you remember..^A.. a time'
