[Verse 1]
[G]People [F]should have more respect [C]for [G]Tesla
No, not [F]the man, [G]the man
And people [F]have all but [D]neglect for Tesla
[G]No, not the man[F], the[G] man
[Am]It was he who ma[D]de the A .C.
He's the [G]father [Am]of modern el[F]ectricity
[G]He [Am]showe[F]d[G][Am][F][G]
[Am]his plans to Thomas Edis[D]on
But Tom re[G]jected all his better [C]ideas
No [Am]small wonder [D]Nikolai went daft
Edis[G]on got the gold[F]mine,
he [C]got [G]the shaft
People [F]should show more respect [C]for [G]Tesla
No, not [F]the [G]bandit man
And people [F]have all but [G]neglect [D]for [G]Tesla
No, [D]not [F]the [G]bandit man
[Am]It was he who ma[D]de the AC
He's the [G]father [Am]of modern el[F]ectricity
[G]Lig[C]hts were then pow[D]ered
by cur[G]rent [C]DC
Dir[Am]ect current is safer
and it [D]gives no sparks,
but if [G]one light [F]goes out
the whole [C]world goes [G]dark.
So [C]in comes the [D]Tesla coil
to [G]save the [C]day.
[Am]Edison still liked his [D]current direct,
and [G]without the [F]endorsement
Tesla [C]got no [G]re spect.

[Verse 2]
[Am]years later Niko[D]lai had won,
[G]but by then the damage was done
[C]For all[Am] those years he felt
that [D]he'd been had,
but he [G]never got [F]even, [C]he just got [G]mad.
People [F]should show more
respect [C]for [G]Tesla.
No, [D]not [F]the man, [G]the man.
And people have [F]all but [G]neglect [D]for [G]Tesla.
No, not [F]the man, [G]the man.
[Am]It was he who ma[D]de the A .C.
He's the [G]father of mod

[G]No, he never got even, he just got mad[G]
