Tom: G5


Verse One:    
G5             F5
High time we made a stand
       Eb5                          A5
And shook up the views of the common man
                 Eb5              A5
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Eb5              A5   
DJ's the man we love the most
G5                                 F5
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
       Eb5                       A5 
And smash every hope of democracy
                 Eb5                         A5
As the headline says you're free to choose
           Eb5                      A5     
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
Eb5                                    A5
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

Chorus:
C5             C5        A5
Sowing the seeds of love
A5          F5
Seeds of love
Ab5             G5
Sowing the seeds
(Repeat)
Verse two (same chords as verse one):
G5             F5
I spy, tears in their eyes
    Eb5                          A5
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
  Eb5              A5
intervention, food goes to waste
Eb5              A5   
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
G5                                 F5
Politician granny with your high ideals
    Eb5                       A5 
Have you no idea how the majority feels
      Eb5                         A5
So without love and a promised land
   Eb5                      A5    
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
   Eb5                      A5    
Kick out the style, bring back the jam

(Chorus)

Verse Three:
F5            Eb5 
Feel the pain, talk about it
               F5                  Eb5 
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
F5           Eb5  
Open hearts, feel about it
F5           Eb5
Open minds, think about it
F5       Eb5 
Everyone, read about it
F5       Eb5 
Everyone, scream about it
F5        Eb5
Everyone,  everyone
F5       Eb5
Everyone, read about it
Eb5                                     D5
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read

(Chorus -- omit words)

Bridge:
A5     D5
                  Sowing the seeds of love

Mister England sowing the seeds of love

Verse Four:
G5                      F5 
Time to eat all your words
                    Eb5              A5
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
G5                      F5
Time to eat all your words
                    Eb5              A5
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
G5             F5
High time we made a stand 
       Eb5                           A5 
And shook up the views of the common man
                  Eb5              A5
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Eb5               A5
Every minute of every hour
Eb5      A5   
I love a sunflower
Eb5       A5   Eb5 A5   Eb5  A5    Eb5  A5
And I believe           in love    power, love         power, love
             power
(Chorus)

Ending:
Ab5             G5 
Sowing the seeds
      Ab5     G5   
An end to need
            Ab5           G5
And the politics of greed
