opening song  of Richie's set at Kate Wolf Memorial folk Festival at Laytonville Ca 
night June 30 2007....impromptu'

Eb
To those of you seeking perfection
Ab                     Bb7            Eb
Oh Lord it's not a long long way to go
Eb     Cm        Bb     Ab      Eb
All you need is a bit of reflection
Cm          Bb       Ab                       Eb
Just might seem like changing direction right now
Cm          Bb            Ab           Eb
Don't go around taking up no collections
Ab
On your way down
Bb7                    Eb
There's nobody left to crown

Eb
What if politicians were all good guys
Ab               Bb7        Eb
Oh Lord don't we wish they were
Eb Cm    Bb    Ab      Eb
We would not be so dependent
Cm            Bb          Ab                         Eb
On courts of law that make us all feel like defendents sometimes
Cm          Bb            Ab          Eb
If we want freedom we've got to amend it
Ab
On our way down
Bb7                   Eb
There's nobody left to crown

Eb
Be it ever so humble
Ab                    Eb
There's no place like home
Eb
Home...home on the range
Ab                         Bb7   Eb
Where the fear and the antidotes play
Ab              Bb7
Where seldom is heard
Ab             Bb7
An encouraging word
Ab                 Bb7         Eb
And our leaders do nothing all day

Eb
What if they gave an election
Ab                 Bb7
And nobody came to vote
Eb    Cm      Bb7            Ab      Eb
The system it needs a bit of correction
Cm         Bb                Ab              Eb
Just might seem like changing direction right now
Cm          Bb             Ab               Eb
As it stands we don't even make the selections
Eb    Cm           Bb7         Ab           Eb
And to get into Heaven we even need a connection
Ab
On our way down
Bb7                    Eb
There's nobody left to crown
Eb     Bb
Nobody left to crown
Eb     Bb
Nobody left to crown
Eb     Bb
Nobody left to crown
