-Thanks to the 'H-chord guy' who did the bulk of the work.
-This isn't note-for-note, but it's at least a working solution.
-Maybe at some point I'll get through the bass line and solos,
but don't count on it.

/tap on body
NC *** B [continuous strumming]
Sometimes when facing common trouble
When whole town is screwed
We become actually human
Act like Prometheus would
Suddenly there is more humor
And a party tabor style
People ringing one another
Em [bring in bass, accordian]
"Yo man, how was your blackout?"
B [guitar rhythm as in 1st half of intro]
Suddenly there is more music
Made with buckets in a park
Girls are dancing with the flashlights
I got only one guitar!
And you see brothers and sisters
All engaged in sport of help
Making merry out of nothing
Like in refugee camp
CHORUS:
= x57775
NC
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
It is possible any time anywhere
Even without any dough
NC
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
The forces of creative mind are unstoppaboppabable!
[INTRO] (add7)
VERSE TWO: [bring in drums]
NC
And you think, alright now people
They have finally woked up
But as soon as trouble over
Watch them take another nap
Now nobody's making merry
Only trotting scared of boss
Everybody's making hurry
For some old forgotten cause
But one thing surely eternal
It's condition of a man
Who don't know where he is going
Who don't know where does he stand
Who's dream power is a bottle
Put away in dry dark place
Who's youth power is well buried
Under propaganda waves
Who's dream life in opposition
To the life during the day
Who's beaten down in believing
It just kinda goes this way!
CHORUS:
NC
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
It is possible any time anywhere
Even without any dough
NC
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
[stay on ]
The forces of the creative mind are unstoppaboppabable!
Aha! Dananana! Ala!

Aha! Dananana! Ara! Dananana! Dada Dananana! Aha! Dananana!
