[Intro]

The spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the rythym has begun

The spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the rythym has begun
Dm7                                                                               G
The spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the rythym has begun
Dm7                                                                               G
The spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the spirit of the people, the rythym has begun

[Verse]
Dm7                                         G
Old men with their protocol, lead us off to war, 
Dm7                                               G
Sometimes we don't even know, what we're fighting for
C               G             C
Marching to the beat of their drum
Dm7                                       G
Leaders we no longer trust, told too many lies
Dm7                                          G
The promises they made to us, were never rea-lised
C               G         Am
Hear me now the chant has begun

[Bridge]
Am                    F                       G
Nowhere left to turn, no-one left to turn to, voices raised in anger
Em   C                      Am
They don't have the answer, our whole world's in danger

[Verse]
Dm7                                            G
Oil slicks on the ebbing tide, progress out of hand
Dm7                                                   G
Blind men choke on swallowed pride, heads down in the sand
      C             G              C
Don't wanna see the damage they've done

Dm7                                            G
Trees destroyed by acid rain, falling from the skies
Dm7                                                   G
When our children place the blame, who will tell them why
C               G         Am
Hear me now the chant has begun

[Bridge]
Am                   F                         G
Why is love so rare, all this talk of warfare, too much blind destruction
Em                          Am
Follow love's instructions, now the chant has begun

[Sax Solo]
Dm7          G  Dm7           G                C   G   C

[Outro]
C  G Am7                   C  G Am7
The  spirit of the people, the  spirit of the people
C  G Am7                   C  G Am7
The  spirit of the people, the  rhythm has begun ... (Repeat as backing vocals to fade)

Dm7
Make your choice there's no escape...........Add your voice, the chant has begun
