[Intro]
(With Flute riff over chords)
Em Am Em Am
EmYou poisoned my sweet water.
DmYou cut down my green trees.
The Emfood you fed my children
Was the Dmcause of their disease.
My Emworld is slowly fallin' down
And the Dmair's not good to breathe.
And Emthose of us who care enough,
We Dmhave to do something...
[Chorus]
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
Your Emnewspapers,
They just put you Dmon.
EmThey never tell you
The Dmwhole story.
They Emjust put your
Young ideas Dmdown.
I was wonderin'Em could this be the end
Of your Dmpride and glory?
[Chorus]
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
EmI work in your factory.
I sDmtudy in your schools.
I Emfill your penitentiaries.
And your Dmmilitary too!
And I Emfeel the future trembling,
As the Dmword is passed around.
"If you Emstand up for what you do believe,
Be preDmpared to be shot down. "
[Chorus]
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
And I Emfeel like a stranger
In the lDmand where I was born
And I Emlive like an outlaw.
And I'm Dmalways on the run...
And I'm Emalways getting busted
And I gDmot to take a stand...
I beEmlieve the revolution
Must be Dmmighty close at hand...
[Chorus]
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
EmI smoke marijuana
But I caDmn't get behind your wars.
And Emmost of what I do believe
Is agaDminst most of your laws
I'm a Emfugitive from injustice
But I'm gDmoin' to be free.
'Cause yourEm rules and regulations
They doDmn't do the thing for me
[Chorus]
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
And I fEmeel like a stranger
In the laDmnd where I was born
And I lEmive just like an outlaw.
And I'm alDmways on the run.
And tEmhough you may be stronger now, my tiDmme will come around.
You keep Emadding to my numbers, and you Dmshoot my people down.
[Chorus]
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
AmOh... Oh What you gonna Cdo about Dmme?
