[Verse 1]
[D]Deep in[G]side [Bm]the bord[D]er[A]
[Bm]Children are [A]crying
[D]Fighting for [Em]food
[D]Holding their [Em]heads
[F#m]Break [D]ing their [Em]bread [A]with [D]a stone

[Verse 2]
[D]All [Bm]along the [D]roadside[A]
[Bm]People are stand[A]ing
[D]Watching [Em]the sun
[D]Shielding their [Em]eyes
[F#m]Brush [D]ing the [Em]flies from their [D]face

[Verse 3]
[D]Tell me, [Em]what can you [D]say[G]
[D]Tell me, [Em]who do you [D]blame[G][D]
Like a [Em]mirror [D]you see your[G]self
These [D]people [Em]each have a [D]name[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]All [Bm]around the [D]township[A]
[Bm]Young men are [A]dying
[D](of) hunger and [Em]thirst
The [D]well has run [Em]dry
[D]The tears from her [Em]eye feed
[A]s h[D]er son[Em][D][G]
[D]Tell [Em]me

[Am]

[Verse 5]
You can say you're pulling [D]back
We [Am]see the pictures everyw[Em]here
But what we [D]don't see is what's
Going [C]on behind the closed doors
[G]And you don't seem to c[D]are

[Verse 6]
[Am]Do you expect me to believ[D]e you
[Am]How can you really t[Em]hink
You can [D]take your horse
[C]down to the water
Hold a [G]gun at his head
And make him [D]drink
No [C]matter what you say,

[Verse 7]
[G]
it [D]never gets any [C]better
No matter what you [G]do,
[D]we never see any change

[C][Em][C][Em][C][D]
[Am]

[Verse 8]
People living without [D]rights
[Am]Without their dignity
[Em]How loud[D] does one man
[C]have to shout
[G]To earn his right to be [D]free

[Verse 9]
[Am]
You can keep your toy [D]soldiers
To [Am]se gregate the black and wh[Em]ite
But when the [D]dust settles
And the blood [C]stops running
How do [G]you sleep at night?
[D]

[Verse 10]
No [C]matter what [G]you [D]say

[Verse 11]
What makes you so high and [D]mighty
[Am]What makes you so quali[Em]fied
You can [D]sit there and say
How many [C]have their freedom
But [G]how many more have
died
[D]

[Verse 12]
[Am]
You decide to sit in [D]judgment
Try[Am]ing to play God yours[Em]elf
[D]Someday soon the buck is [C]gonna stop
Stop with [G]you and no one [D]else
No [C]matter
