The Government Of Love Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Johnny got busted, the [F#]summer of 75
An[E]d I got a message through,
[Em]it was a counterculture sacrifice
[Dm]The government may s[D]tand,
the [F#]government may fall
[E]But this only one government
means [Em]anything to me at all
[D]She rules me, like the government of [G]love
[D]She rules me,
like the government [G]of love
And she moves [D]me like the governments
of [G]love[E][G]
[E][D][G][D]
[G]
[D]Now we're all out on bail,
[F#]1990s style
[E]We're paying it off bit by bit,
though it [Em]just might take a while
But [D]all you have to do is write,
all [F#]you have to do is call
[E]Cos there's only one thing around
here means [Em]anything at all
[D]She rules me like the government [G]of love
[D]She rules [G]me
And she moves [D]me like the
government of [G]love
Ah, [E]ah, [G]ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, [E]ah,
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, [Bm]ah, ah, ah.
[A]Have you found a fu[G]ture?[Bm]
[A]Have you found it [G]at all?[Bm]
[A]How you gonna find [G]a future
when you're [Bm]never going to do anything
[A]about it at [D]all?[C][A][G][D][C][A]
[G]
[Dm]So now I[D] walk the streets,
and [F#]everybody's got long hair
Vel[E]vet dungarees,
with [Em]psychedelic flares
[D]It's such a long time, [F#]after all
I [E]can't remember when my
fault meant [Em]anything at all
So, [D]she rules me like the
[G]government of love
An[D]d she moves me like
a government of [G]love
An[D]d she proves me like a
government [G]of [E]love[G][E]
Now [A]it might be a [G]minority position
[D]To [A]try to walk before [G]you can [D]crawl
Oh well, [A]there is still one
ma[G]jority decision
[D]After [E]all, if you can call
[Em]The government o[G]f [D]love
[G]The government of [D]love
[G]This is the government of [D]love
[G]The government of [D]love
[G]The government of lov[D]e
Like a government of [G]love[D]
Like a government in [G]hell
With

Wars
[D]All the way to

With [D]the government
Like a government [G]of [D]love
Like a government of [G]love
Street lights [D]never going out
Like a government [G]of [D]love
Like a government [G]of love
[D]Like a government of [G]love
