C5

This is what I want, I want all the punks to take to the streets
                     G5
playing their guitars 

This is what I want
             C5
It's what I want

This is what I want: Black kids and white kids sharing all the songs
                                  G5
that their grandmamma's taught 'em

This is what I want
            C5
It's what I want
          A5             G5            A5             G5     
And we'll play 'em on our horns, we'll bang em on our drums,
      A5              G5 
we'll play 'em on our guitars
       C5
on our guitars

        A5             C5                              G5
Singing songs that our mothers sang to us when we were young,
   A5            C5            G5
or songs that we may remember reading
A5               C5                G5
Songs we heard a stranger sing or humming on the streets
A5               C5         G5                               C5
Songs we made up yesterday, on the porch, in the rain on our guitars

C5 F5 G5 C5
          
          A5           C5             G5
And we'll never sing a song we heard on your radio,
     A5           C5                G5
or a song someone else was paid to write or sing
          A5            C5             G5
and we'll never sing of sex or of the fakest kind of love,
      A5                C5             F5
those songs will not be played on our guitars
       G5                C5
On our guitars  On our guitars
          
C5 F5 G5 C5

          A5             G5            A5             G5
And we'll play em on our horns, we'll bang em on our drums,
      A5             G5
we'll play em on our guitars
       C5
On our guitars
