-Thanks to the 'H-chord guy' who did the bulk of the work.
-This isn't note-for-note, but it's at least a working solution.
-Maybe at some point I'll get through the bass line and solos,
but don't count on it.

NC *** B [continuous strumming]
Sometimes when facing common trouble
Em
When whole town is screwed
B
We become actually human
Em
Act like Prometheus would
A
Suddenly there is more humor
G
And a party tabor style
B
People ringing one another
Em [bring in bass, accordian]
"Yo man, how was your blackout?"
B [guitar rhythm as in 1st half of intro]
Suddenly there is more music
Em
Made with buckets in a park
B
Girls are dancing with the flashlights
B
I got only one guitar!
A
And you see brothers and sisters
G
All engaged in sport of help
B
Making merry out of nothing
Em
Like in refugee camp
CHORUS:
D = x57775

Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so

VERSE TWO: [bring in drums]
NC B
And you think, alright now people
Em
They have finally woked up
B
But as soon as trouble over
Em
Watch them take another nap
A
Now nobody's making merry
G
Only trotting scared of boss
B
Everybody's making hurry
Em
For some old forgotten cause
B
But one thing surely eternal
Em
It's condition of a man
B
Who don't know where he is going
Em
Who don't know where does he stand
A
Who's dream power is a bottle
G
Put away in dry dark place
B
Who's youth power is well buried
Em
Under propaganda waves
A
Who's dream life in opposition
G
To the life during the day
B
Who's beaten down in believing
Em
It just kinda goes this way!
