Tom: Gm7


Verse One:    
Gm7             F
High time we made a stand
       Eb7M                          Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
                 Eb7M              Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Eb7M              Am/D   
DJ's the man we love the most
Gm7                                 F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
       Eb7M                       Am7 
And smash every hope of democracy
                 Eb7M                         Am/D
As the headline says you're free to choose
           Eb7M                      Am/D     
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
Eb7M                                    Am/D
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

Chorus:
C             C7M        Am
Sowing the seeds of love
Am7M          F7M
Seeds of love
Ab             G7
Sowing the seeds
(Repeat)
Verse two (same chords as verse one):
Gm7             F
I spy, tears in their eyes
    Eb7M                          Am/D
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
  Eb7M              Am/D
intervention, food goes to waste
Eb7M              Am/D   
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Gm7                                 F
Politician granny with your high ideals
    Eb7M                       Am7 
Have you no idea how the majority feels
      Eb7M                         Am/D
So without love and a promised land
   Eb7M                      Am/D    
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
   Eb7M                      Am/D    
Kick out the style, bring back the jam

(Chorus)

Verse Three:
F7M            Eb7M 
Feel the pain, talk about it
               F7M                  Eb7M 
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
F7M           Eb7M  
Open hearts, feel about it
F7M           Eb7M
Open minds, think about it
F7M       Eb7M 
Everyone, read about it
F7M       Eb7M 
Everyone, scream about it
F7M        Eb7M
Everyone,  everyone
F7M       Eb7M
Everyone, read about it
Eb                                     D7
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read

(Chorus -- omit words)

Time to eat all your words
                    Eb7M              Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7                      F
Time to eat all your words
                    Eb7M              Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes

High time we made a stand 
       Eb7M                           Am/D 
And shook up the views of the common man
                  Eb7M              Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Eb7M               Am/D
Every minute of every hour
Eb7M      Am/D   
I love a sunflower
Eb7M       Am/D   Eb7M Am/D   Eb7M  Am/D    Eb7M  Am/D
And I believe           in love    power, love         power, love
             power
(Chorus)

Ending:
Ab             G7 
Sowing the seeds
      Ab     G7   
An end to need
            Ab           G7
And the politics of greed
