^EGod evening Mr. Waldheim ^D#mAnd Pontiff how are you? ^C#mYou have so much in common ^BIn the things you ^F#do

^EAnd here comes Jesse Jackson ^D#mHe talks of common ground ^C#mDoes that common ground include me ^BOr is it just a ^F#sound?

A sound that sh^Eakes Oh ^BJesse, you must ^F#watch the sounds you ^Emake ^{B F# E} A sound that q^Euakes ^BThere are fears that ^F#still reverbe^Erate

^EJesse you say common ground ^D#mDoes that include the P.L.O? ^C#mWhat about people right here, right now ^BWho fought for you not so l^F#ong ago?

^EThe words that flow so freely ^D#mFalling dancing from your lips ^C#mI hope that you don't cheapen them ^BWith a racist ^F#slip

^EOh common ground Is ^Bcommon ground a ^F#word or just a ^Esound? ^{B F# E E}Oh, oh, common ground ^BRemember those civil rights w^F#orkers buried in the g^Eround ^{B F#}

^EIf I ran for president ^D#mAnd once was a member of the Klan ^C#mWouldn't you call me on it ^BThe way I call you ^F#on Farrakhan?

^EAnd Pontiff, pretty Pontiff ^D#mCan anyone shake your hand ? ^C#mOr is it just that you like uniforms ^BAnd someone kissing^F# your hand?

^EAnd Jesse you're inside my thoughts ^D#mAs the rhythmic words subside ^C#mMy common ground invites you in ^BOr do you prefer to ^F#wait outside?

^EOr is it true The ^Bcommon ground for ^F#me is without ^Eyou? ^{B F# E} Or is it ^Etrue ^BThe common ground for ^F#me is without ^Eyou? ^{B F# E}

Oh is it ^Etrue There's no ^Bground common ^F#enough for me and ^Eyou? ^{B F# E}
