INTRO - D    Em  G    Bm    A  G


VERSE
D                             Em     G   
They're trying hard to put me in my place
Bm               A            G
And that is why I gotta keep running
D                          Em     G
The future's mine and it's no disgrace
Bm                  A              G
Cos in the end the past means nothing

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down

And from my chains I think it's a pity

What did it cost you to wear my crown

You don't like it so why don't you admit it

BRIDGE
A                         Em
D'you feel a little down today?
          G                D
Bet you ain't got much to say?
               A                  Em
You're gonna miss me when I'm not there
                 G G* G G* G G*    
(listen to song and you'll understand)

And you know I don't care, you know I don't care

CHORUS
D      A                   G - G*       
As we beg and steal and borrow
                  D        A 
Life is hit and miss and this
    Em              G
I hope, I think, I know
                         D         A
And if I ever hear the names you call
  Em       G                   F#m
If I stumble catch me when I fall
                A                               
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name


Em   G       A 
Then return back to the CHORUS.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

From 'Be here now'

Verse 1:
Em                   G       D
Step off the train alone at dawn
Em                       G        D
Back into the hole where I was born
     Em                  G         D       A
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
     Em               G         D
The blood on the trax must be mine
    Em                      G    D
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Em                          G          D      A
Don't look back cos' you know what you might see

Verse2:
Em                    G        D   
Look into the wall of my mind's eye
Em                   G          D
I think I know but I don't know why
   Em                  G        D       A
The questions are the answers you might need
Em                     G        D
Coming in a mess going out in style
Em                            G        D
I ain't good looking but I'm someones child
Em                      G         D         A
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

Bridge:
E        E7       D        A
I met my maker I made him cry
    E         E7       D       A
And on my shoulder he asked me why
     E          E7      D       A
His people won't fly through the storm
          C                      D                  A
I said: Listen up man they don't even know you're born

Chorus
Em               G               D
All my people right here right now
  A                      Em      G     D      A

Verse3
Em                       G           D
I don't really care for what you believe
      Em                    G         D 
So open up your fist or you won't recieve
     Em                      G        D          A
The thoughts are the words of every man you 'll need
      Em                   G           D
So get up of the floor and believe in life
Em                  G       D
No-one's ever gonna ask you twice
Em                  G         D       A
Get on the bus and bring it home to me

Bridge:
E        E7       D        A
I met my maker I made him cry
    E         E7       D       A
And on my shoulder he asked me why
     E          E7      D       A
His people won't fly through the storm
          C                      D                 A
I said: Listen up man they don't even know you're born

Em               G               D
All my people right here right now

Em             G               D
All my people right here right now
A                        Em      G      D      A
    D'you know what I mean?
