---VERSE---
	 Cm (x3101x@1)     Bb (x1333x@1)		   CmFig 1
When the people lead The leaders they will have to follow
	 Cm (x3101x@1)            Bb (x1333x@1)		   CmFig 1
And all their lies and their alibies They will have to swallow
	 Cm (x3101x@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)		   CmFig 1
And it's you                that has the authority 
	 Cm (x3101x@1)     Bb (x1333x@1)      CmFig 1
For the one who is right is the majority

---CHORUS---

		Bb (x1333x@1)FWhen (133211@1)the people lead
		CmPeople (x3101x@1)take the lead
	         Bb (x1333x@1)  FChildren (133211@1)you've got to take your lead
	        CmOr (x3101x@1)you shall be led astray

---VERSE---
So as long as someone else Controls your history
The truth      shall remain just a mystery
For you can lead a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink
You can put a man through school but you cannot make him think

---CHORUS----

---DRUM SOLO---

----VERSE---
Watch them try to hide This world's imposition
But like disease that has come round from remission
When it seems as if it has left your person
All the while it has only worsened

---CHORUS---
