Tuning: Standard (Capo 2nd fret)

Intro: C, G, D, Em, C, G, D, G

             C                            G
I hear the crying of the hungry in the deserts where they're wandering
               D                             G
Hear they're crying out for heaven?s own benevolence upon them
          C                                 G
Hear destructive power prevailing, I hear fools falsely hailing
          G              D               Em   C
To the crooked wits of tyrants when they call
             G               D                G     
I hear them all, I hear the all, I hear them all

             C                              G
I hear the sounds of tearing pages and the roar of burning paper
          D                                     G
All the crimes and acquisition turn to air and ash and vapor
          C                         G
And the rattle of the shackle far beyond emancipator
        G          D               Em   C
And lowliest who gather in their stalls
             G               D                G
I hear them all, I hear the all, I hear them all


Harmonica Solo (verse & chorus progression)

              C                                G
So while you sit and whistle dixie with your money and your power
       D                                   G
I can hear the flowers a-growing in the rubble of the towers
         C                                G
I hear leaders quit their lying, I hear babies quit their crying
           G                 D            Em    C
I hear soldiers quit their dying one and all
             G               D                G               
I hear them all, I hear the all, I hear them all

Harmonica Solo (verse & chorus progression)
       
             C                              G
I hear the tender words from Zion, I hear Noah's waterfall
           D                           G
Hear the gentle lamb of Judah sleeping at the feet of Buddha
           C                         G
And the prophets from Elijah to the old Paiute Wovoka
              G            D                  Em   C
Take their places at the table when they're called
             G               D                G               
I hear them all, I hear the all, I hear them all
             G               D                G            C            
I hear them all, I hear the all, I hear them all? (raise vocal pitch)
             G               D                G               
I hear them all, I hear the all, I hear them all?
