"(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People"
(Eugene Record)
Intro:
synths - 8 bars over F#
Partial chorus:
(F#) F#9 [xxx999]
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
Verse 1:
(F#) F#9
There's some people up there hoggin' everything
(F#) F#9
Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people's money and things
(F#) F#9
And if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me
(F#) F#9
Yeah they seen and heard it, but never had misery
C# B
There are some people who are starvin' to death
C# B
Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
C# B
Oh, oh, oh, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you think of love
C# B A
You don't have the time to care so it's crime you're guilty of, oh yeah
Chorus:
(F#) F#9
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
(F#) F#9
For God's sake, why don't you give more power to the people
Verse 2:
Cut this jive and see who's got the power to kill the most
When they run out of power, the world's gonna be a ghost
They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
Makin' us a promise and throwin' a few more dollars
There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love
Up goes the price of livin', and you're right back where you was
So whatever you got, just be glad you got it
Now we're gonna get on up and get some more of it
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus w/wordless vocals (2X)]
[repeat chorus; fade 4th time]
(3: got to have it... more power)
-- another ace 70's tab from Andrew Rogers
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CHI LITES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
