Verse

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do.
Riff 1 Riff 1
So I leave it up to you.
Verse
/ // / //
Population keeps on breedin
Am/ // C/ // Riff 1
nation bleedin still no feedin - don't count on me.
/ // / //
Life is funny skies are sunny
Am/ // C/ // Riff 1
bees make honey who needs money? - no more for me.
Chorus
Interlude (acoustic: play verse chords electric: alvin lee solo)
More pollution, there's no solution,
institution, electricution,
spread the word, rich and poor,
helpin us to stop the war.
Riff 1 2x then Chorus; end on a slow-strum Em
Sorry, but I couldn't figure out the last few notes before the Em,
but I'm sure you can pick them out on your own. The Riff below is
right, but it takes a few tries to get the right rhythym.
Peace, love, and rock and roll.
