Intro:
(Listen to recording for strumming pattern)
A5 (strum)
Verse 1:
(* = Palm muted continuously until chord change)
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 [D5]thing[A5]
A5*
Do you see your son out on the street?
Is that a gun or just the Father that he [D5]needs?[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 [G5]mornin' there were [G5]revelations [G5]in my mind
[G5] I can hear the [G5]masters cryin' [G5]out from their graves most [G5]every night
Chorus 1:
[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether
[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether
Verse 2:
(* = Palm muted continuously until chord change)
A5*
It's a crime, this dark time
We wait for presidents who never turn the [D5]tide[A5]
A5*
I find it hard, I find it strange
Go to the movies, have Picasso paint your [D5]cage[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[C5]gether
[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether.... [A5]Yeah
[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether
[F5] Bring the people to[C5]gether.... [A5]Yeah
(Continue strumming A5 into bridge)
Bridge:
[Em] Bring the people to[A]gether
[Em] For the sake of these [A]children we leave behind
[Em] Can you remember..[A].. a time?
Solo:
Note: A second guitar continuously strums G5 chord
until end of solo as rhythm backing

Verse 3:
(bass only)
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 [D5]thing[A5]
[A5] Tell me, is this a nation? Is this a tribe?
Is this the World or just some everyday bee[D5]hive?[A5]
[A5] We need it now, yeah, we need it quick
Listen to lovers, better quit it with this shit
