I posted the other version, and it isn't completely right So this is like a correction. I actually found an acoustic version of this song and it sounds exactly the same.
(capo 5) EADGBE Dm XX0231 Am X02210 C x32010 Em 022000 F 133211 G 320003 Gsus 320013
Dm Walk in a corner shop Am See a shoplifting cop Dm See the old lady with a gun Am See the hero try 2 run Dm Nothing's what it seems, I mean Am It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean Dm There's children paying bills Am There's monks buying thrills Dm There's pride for sale in magazines Am There's pills for rent 2 make u clean Dm Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother Am Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
CHORUS: CEm Mothers weep, children sleep AmF So much violence ends in silence CG It's a shame there's no one 2 blame AmF For all the pain that life brings CEmAmF If u will just take me It might just complete me DmGsusG And together we can make a stand
VERSE 2 A waitress brings me lunch We meet but do not touch On TV, D.C. is selling lies While in the corner, King's dream dies Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him The mayor has no cash He said he spent it on hookers and hash
BRIDGE: AmCGAmAmCGAm U will love me, I will love u
CHORUS
*HINT* 1. The names of the chords only mean the finger position. 2. Use fast downward strums on the beats. 3. When you're switching from Dm to Am play the open 6th string for the first downward strum; it sounds really cool.
