E5                            D5   E5
Put your old ladies back into bed
                             D5    E5
Put your old men into their graves
                         D5     E5
Cover their ears so they can't hear us sing
                         D5     E5
Cover their eyes so they can't see us play
G5
Get out of the way
        A5
Let the people play
            B5          C5
We're gonna get down on you
D5              E5
Come alive all over you
                            D5 E5
Dancin' down into your town

E5                                 D5     E5
You know Tyrannosaurus Rex was destroyed before
                            D5       E5
By a furry little ball that crawled along
The primeval jungle floor
   D5                     E5
He stole the eggs of the dinosaur
G5
close your eyes & create the sound
A5
open your hands & rebuild the ground
B5                    C5
We are egg snatchers, egg snatchers
D5
flashin' sunshine children
E5                       D5 E5
Bunch of diamond thieves

E5
You unleash the dogs
     D5     E5           D5  E5
of a grade-B movie star governor's war
          D5
While you sit in the dark -
  E5                    D5 E5
insane with the fear of dying
E5
we?ll ball in your parks
  D5                      E5
Insane with the flash of living

G5
I?m alive, I am human
A5               B5
i will be alive again
   C5
So drop your fuckin' bombs
D5
Burn your demon babies
E5
I will be again
E5         D5 E5
Rabid lover
                           D5   E5
feelin' the starch in your grin

Callin' for acid cocaine and grass
                            D5  E5
And receiving your homemade gin

E5           D5  E5
Push the button
               D5 E5
pull the switch
             D5 E5
cut the beam
                   D5 E5
c'mon make it march
Sign me up as a diplomat - my only office is the park

E5             D5      E5           G5 *
You need to be out before you come in
E5        D5        E5  G5 *
After you come you go
E5              D5         E5              G5 *
In the midst of Yang is a smaller part of Yin
E5          D5           E5   G5 *
And when it happens you know
E5
the dawn comes

Hey, dick!
E5
Whatever you think of us is totally irrelevant
E5
Both to us now and to you
E5
We are the present
E5
We are the future
E5
You are the past
E5       D5            E5
Pay your dues and get outta the way
            E5      D5       A5
Cause we're not the way you used to be


     D5        C5    B5
When you were very young

E5
We're something new
We don't quite know what it is
Or particularly care
We just do it - You gotta do it
Let the music do it, take you there
Do it, do it, do it - gotta do it
Something new, something new, something new
New, New

E5
Open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'
Open your eyes there's a new world today
Open your hearts people are lovin'

Open it all we've come to stay

E5
I said, Open it all we've come to stay

Then play around with this riff:

e | --------------------------- | 
B | --------------------------- | 
G | --------------------------- | 
D | --------------------------- | 
A | --5-777-5-777-7070-7070---- | 
E | --------------------------- | 
Just mess around the E note and throw in some D?s and A?s.

E5
I said, Open it all we've come to stay
People, hey you people, everybody
Us young people come to stay
I said, people, on relief
We've all come to stay

D5         E5             D5           E5
Open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'
D5                 E5
Open it all we've come to stay
E5
Yeah, yeah, yeah, open it all

Open it, open it, baby
NOW OPEN THAT DOOR.
