[play verse part1]
         C                 C/B           Am               G
         It may have been camelot for   Jack and   Jacqueline
or on the Che Guevara    highway filling up with     gasoline
         Fidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady who's crying over
        luxury's    disappointment so he walks over and he's trying

[play verse part2]
     F              G           C         C/B       Am

        In the cheese pavilion,         the only noise I       hear
is the sound of someone stacking chairs and mopping up spilled beer

     F              G             C     C/B      Am
and someone asking questions and basking in the light
G      F                    G                       [play intro]
of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer

   Mixing pop and politics,       he asks me what the use is
I offer   him   embarrassment and my usual           excuses*

       F               G                 C       C/B     Am    G
while looking down the corridor out to where the van is waiting
     F              G           [play intro]
I'm looking for the great leap forwards

C  C/B  Am  Am    C  C/B  Am  Am


5.
C                C/B                       Am                G
Jumble sales are organised and          pamphlets have been posted
even after     closing time, there's still parties to  be  hosted*

           F               G              C      C/B       Am
you can be active with the activists or sleep in with the sleepers

      F                             C
well here comes the future and you cant run from it
   C            C/B         Am       G
if you've got a blacklist I wanna be on it
  F              G           C [intro] C/B  Am  Am
waiting for the great leap forwards

            F                    G
well its a mighty long way down rock and roll
     C          C/B       Am        G
from top of the pops to drawing the dole
         F              G           C [intro] C/B  Am  Am
you're waiting for the great leap forwards

   F                G
if no-one out there understands
            C      C/B        Am           G
start your own revolution and cut out the middleman
  F              G           C [intro] C/B  Am  Am
waiting for the great leap forwards

      F                      G
in a perfect world we'd all sing in tune
      C      C/B        Am           G
but this is reality so give me some room
  F              G           C [intro] C/B  Am  Am
waiting for the great leap forwards

    F                  G
so join the struggle while you may
         C        C/B    Am        G
the revolution is just a T-shirt away
  F              G           C [intro] C/B  Am  Am
waiting for the great leap forwards


d is a downstroke
u is an upstroke (kind of a lazy, incidental one)
h is a hammer on

* at the end of the last line of [verse part 1], the walk up from the G
to the C *might* be replaced by a walk up from a C to an F, so it'd be
the same fingering as the other lines of the verse, but move the end bit
all up one string
