Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Chorus
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.
Sing it like you've never sung before.
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,
we, the people here, don't want a war.
Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game.
I just want to be, someone known to you, as me..
And I will bet my life you want the same.
Chorus
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.
Sing it like you've never sung before.
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,
we, the people here, don't want a war.
Seven hundred million are you listening?
Most of what you read is made of lies.
Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun?..
to wake to in the morning when we rise.
Chorus
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.
Sing it like you've never sung before.
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,
we, the people here, don't want a war.
Brother Yareshenko are you busy?
If not would you drop a friend a line?
Tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land,
has got the war machine upon his mind.
Chorus
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.
Sing it like you've never sung before.
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,
we, the people here, don't want a war.
No doubt, some folks enjoy doing battle.
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings.
So, let's all build them shelves where they can
fight among themselves..
and leave the people be, who want to sing.
Chorus
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.
Sing it like you've never sung before.
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,
we, the people here, don't want a war.
Outro
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,
we, the people here, don't want a war.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
