INTRO: 

Riff A x4 

VERSE: 

Riff A                                Riff A 
      Where are you now, broken up or still around 
       F#                    G(2)                               Riff A    
 the CIA says your a Guilty man, will we see the likes of you again  

(do this twice for both verses (scroll down for lyrics), ideally the  
chords should ring, with bass player repeating the notes but you can 
strum if you are playing solo) 


CHORUS:  

     G        A        E         D   
  A voice so pure - a vision so clear 
    F#                       G(2) 
 I gotta learn to live like you 
                             A(2) 
         learn to sing like you 
                      Riff A  
      ooo--eh-ooo-eh--ooo        
  
(thats the best way I could think to write the last line, listen to song 
 for the chord rhythms (most on the first line are about two or three strums). 
Make sure you only hit the last chord (A(2)) once, very briefly,  
if you let it ring or strum it'll sound wrong).    

Interlude: 

For the bit with the recorded voice just do: 
D A D A (strum once and let each chord ring) 

Or alternatively make up a solo in the key Dmajor 

OUTRO: 
 D 
   Sing it loud , sing it proud 
 A   
   I will be heard, I will be found 

LYRICS: 

VERSE 1 
Where are you now, broken up or still around    
the CIA says your a Guilty man, will we see the likes of you again  
Can anyone make a difference anymore, can anyone write a protest song 
Pinky lefty Revolutionary, brunt at the stake for 

CHORUS: 
A voice so pure - a vision so clear 
I gotta learn to live like you 
learn to sing like you, oo-eh-oo-eh-oo 

VERSE 2 
Went to Cuba to meet Castro, never got past sleepy Moscow 
A giant man with a heavenly voice, MK ultra turned you paranoid 
No passport till 1958, McArthy poisoned through with hate 
Liberty lost still buried today, beneath the lie of the USA 

CHORUS 

INTERLUDE (sorry, but I don't count the recorded voice as lyrics) 

CHORUS 

OUTRO 
Sing it loud sing it proud 
I will be heard, I will be found  
(repeat once)
