Intro:

F#m-F#m7  -  4x   (listen to the song to get the rhythm correct)


Verse 1:

                   -
  Doesn't it bring you do--wn

-                  
   So many lights and sounds

                -      -
Call your mom on the tel-e-phone

                     -
Tell her you're coming home

                 
Tell her there's not a chance

                     
You're ever going to change the world


(INTRO)

Chorus:

                                         
If you want to be free, take a sip of this tea

                    
Join the red oyster cult

                                             
If you drink the whole cup, you will never grow up

                     
You will never grow old

Verse 2:


                    -
Remember when you were four-teen

-                        
      You'd paint every picture so green

               -       -
Call your mom on the tel-e-phone

                     -
Tell her your muse is gone

                 
Tell her there's not a chance

                     
You're ever going to change the world


Just a few drops away, you're never gunna change the world


(Intro)

(CHORUS)

                    -
(Whistle Whistle)

-                        
(Whistle Whistle)

                -      -
Call your mom on the tel-e-phone

                     -
Tell her you're coming home

                 
Tell her there's not a chance

                     
You're ever going to change the world

Just a few drops away, you're never gunna change
