              D      C               G
Met myself a common  county welfare line
                  C          G               D
I was a-feelin' strung out, hung out on the line
 G            D     Em                 C
Saw myself a-goin' down to the war in June

All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune
 
CHORUS:
C                 G
 Wrote a song for everyone
C                 G
 Wrote a song for truth

 Wrote a song for everyone--
       C             D7      G
When I couldn't even talk to you

              D       C              G   
Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail
                    C       G             D
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication fails
G              D        Em                C  
If you see the answer, now's the time to say
G           D          C                      G 
All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray

                      C              G                   D
Somebody said it's a-different now; look, it's just the same
 G                 D       Em                  C  
Pharaohs spin the message round and round the truth
  G                      D               C              G 
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?
