_The Likes of You and I??_
The Levellers

Intro: Am G D 

Note: While playing the D chord, you should alternate between 
playing the normal D chord and playing it with the e string open.
Listening to the song should help you figure out the right rhythm.

       Am           G                  D
Do you ever stop to think from time to time
Am          G                   D                   
  About the way the world's been left behind
Am         G                    D
In another place and in another time
         Am               G                     D
We could maybe change the way we think take the blinkers from our eyes


Am G D (x2)


       Am                 G          D
Do you think that she was maybe not alone
       Am                    G                D
Do you think there's someone out there do you think that they might know
    Am                    G                    D
And if they don't, do you think they should be told
             Am          G                 D
'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control


Chorus:

         Am
Take the rope
         G                   D
Take the blindfold from your eyes
         Am
Take the rope from around your neck
             G                   D
And take the blindfold from your eyes
            C (let ring...)
Then you'll never be surprised

When they tell you that they love you
                          Am
While they're eating you alive

G D    Am G D


       Am                 G                 D
Do you think you have the strength to carry on
Am           G                  D
  Or has the black cat got your tongue
      Am            G               D
Don't worry now the world will be alright
            Am                 G               D
'Cause this land has been here longer than the likes of you and I

Chorus

(funky bass and fiddle interlude)

 Repeat verse 2 (Do you think that she was maybe not alone...)

Final chorus:

         Am
Take the rope
         G                   D
Take the blindfold from your eyes
         Am
Take the rope from around your neck
             G                   D
And take the blindfold from your eyes
         Am
Take the rope
         G                   D
Take the blindfold from your eyes
         Am
Take the rope from around your neck 
             G                   D
And take the blindfold from your eyes
            C  (keep strumming...)
Then you'll never be surprised

When they tell you that they love you
                          Am
While they're eating you alive
