xA great song and it's so easy to play along with.
C Am F G and listen for the changes
C Am
Hey, Baby I just got back from town where the bribes are paid
F G
Honey, they turned my offer down they say the deal's already made
C Am
So now I gotta stand and watch while it all comes down
F G
and the buzzards and the hawks and the judges and the mob circle around
Now if I were the queen of all the world I would go in chains just to see you free
of the ropes that bind you and the role you play
and the pride that hooks you while the big ones get away
Love junkies wanna change the world: it quickly stays the same
Money junkies hire all the smart ones Power junkies run the game
One step at a time Polarity Hill
If the bad guys don't get you Baby then the good guys will
With angels on the take and the gangsters in the yard
Hey don't the wars come easy Hey don't the peace come hard
Now if I had a way to reach the sky
I'd grab that crescent moon wield it like a knife save you from the lies
From the ropes that bind you and the role you play
And the game that hooks you, while the big ones get away
Hum (Ohhh oh oh oh nd repeat) play C Am F G into fade out
