C Man, I never slept so hard Em I never dreamt so well C Dreaming I was safe in life G Like mussels in a shell F Rolling and controlling Em All the basements and the back roads of our lives Fill their dreams with big fast cars Fill their heads with sand Holy white we'll paint the town The colour of our flag Hey there little lady has your baby got the look of some old man? Standing on the corner of the third world Hungry men will close their minds Ideas are not their food Notions fall on stony ground Where passions are subdued Colour all the madness for the madness is the thorn that's in our side Standing on the corner of the third world C Em Of the third world, of the third world Of the third world, of the third world Of the third world, of the third world A# When we gonna learn? Who we gonna turn to? Am The promises they make The call for our attention A# Compassion is the fashion Free to earn, our pockets burn Am We buy for love G Die for love Hold me, I'm crying Hold me, I'm dying You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm A# C Em F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
