Am   D  Am  D  Am  D
Em                          A               Em
I thought of you when they closed down the school
         A       Em
And the hospital too
          D  
Did they think that you were better?
           Em
They were wrong
     A           Em
You had so many friends
          A              Em
They all left you in the end
             D
'Cause they couldn't take the patter

         Am                     D    Am
And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
  D       Am     C
Women and men united by a struggle
       Am
Going down
               D             Am
You've got to walk into the water
           D               Am
With your sister and your daughter
         F
In this free world
              
   Em                          A                  Em
If I wore your shades could I share your point of view?
         A             Em
Could I make you feel better?
          D
Paint a picture, write a letter?
        Em
Well I know what you're saying
       A                 Em
But I see the things you do
          A         Em
And it's much too dangerous
        D
To get closer to you

           Am                     D    Am
But I will see you baby when the clans rise again
 D        Am    C  
Women and men united in a struggle
       Am
Going down
        D            Am
With a pocketful of plastic
        D          Am
Like a dollar on elastic
         F          G  F
In this free world
                                 Am
I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care

                            D    Am
I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
  D       Am    C
Women and men united by the struggle
         Am                    D       Am
And the ghettoes are full of Mercedes Benz
           D            Am
And you'd never hurt a friend
              F
Who wouldn't tell you
 
      Em            A            Em
It's cold and it's going to get colder
    A                 Em
You may not get much older
        D
You're much too scared of living
       Em          A     Em
And to die is a reliable exit
       A               Em
So you push it and you test it
      D
With Thunderbird and Rivin

     Am                     D    Am
I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
 D        Am    C
Women and men united by the struggle
         Am
In this free world baby
        D             Am
Got to take it got to grab it
        D            Am
Got to get it up and shag it
         F
In this free world

       Am
Going down
              D            Am
You've got to get into the water
        D                Am
Like a lamb goes to the slaughter
         C
In this free world baby
       Am
Going down
        D           Am
With a pocketful of plastic
        D          Am
Like a dollar on elastic
         F         G   F
In this free world
                                Am
I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care
