    Em                            G
If  I    was president,
                                 Am      C                             Em
I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday,
             G             Am                       C                             Em            G             Am       C
and buried on Sunday, then go back to work on monday

   Em                    G             Am             C
If I was president           If I was president


      Em         G                Am                    C
Instead of spending billions on the war,
       Em         G                Am                    C
I can use that money, so I can  feed the poor.
  Em         G                Am                    C
I know some so poor, when it rains that's when they shower,
  Em                        G               
screaming "fight the power".
Am                          C
That's when the vulture devoured

# [chorus]

  Em         G              
But the radio won't play this.
  Am                    C
They call this rebel music.
  Em         G                          Am                    C
How can you refuse it, children of moses?

# [chorus]
  Em         G                Am                    C
Tell the children the truth, the truth.
  Em         G                Am                    C
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America.
Em         G                Am                    C
Tell them the truth. YEAH!


Em         G                Am                    C

Tell them about Marcus Garvey.

Em         G                Am                    C

Tell the children, the truth, yeah! The truth
Em         G                Am                    C

Tell them about Martin Luther King.
Em         G                Am                    C

Tell them the truth.
Em         G                Am                    C

Tell them about JFK

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

American Dream 

C#m
Tienes que bailarlo natural

Puedes ir bailándolo hacia fuera
F#m
Entra en el abismo musical
 		       C#m
En un mundo demencial
	       G#m C#m
Los que bailan se contentan

E		   C#m
Llegas en la noche sideral

Traes en tu cuerpo la marea
F#m
Siento que comienzo a respirar

Ese ritmo que me das
C#m	   G#m		C#m
Movimiento que se queda

Coro:
        A
Por eso baila, baila

B 			    C#m
En la espera llega la señal

Cuando te contemplo, yo me acerco
F#m
Deja tus sentidos encontrar
			C#m
Otro paso irregular, para entrar en otra esfera

B 				  C#m
Por eso baila solo, baila siempre libre

No dejes que nada en la vida te	detenga
       A	       F#m
Porque vas en un fuego lunar
	C#m		  G#m       C#m
Que en la noche y en el día siempre vuela

Por eso baila, baila

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

INTRO:

G#m
Something that can make you do wrong
And make you do right
Love..........

CHORUS:
               D7     C#7     B
Love and happi-ness...

VERSE:
                           G#m
Wait a minute...something's going wrong
Someone's on the phone...three o'clock in the morning, yeah
Talkin' about how she can make it right, yeah
Well, happiness is when you really feel good about somebody
Nothing wrong with being in love with someone, yeah...
[Chorus]

You be good to me...I'll be good to you
We'll be together, yeah
We'll see each other...Walk away with victory
[Chorus]

Make you do right... love'll make you do wrong
Make you come home early...make you stay out all night long
The power of love...
[Chorus]

Wait a minute, let me tell you...
The power of love...
Make you do right... love'll make you do wrong...
Make you want to dance...
[Chorus]
