[Verse 1]
F#m           A                 E
In the States negroes fight for freedom
    F#m           A   E
The slogans they cry aren't wrong
              E             A    B
But these are wasted words, only wasted words
   A                        E
Oh Lord, let the good times come

    F#m       A                 E
The greatest fighter is Martin Luther King
    F#m                A                E
And when he speaks you see that they're gonna sing
              E             A    B   
But these are wasted words, only wasted words
   A                        E
Oh Lord, let the good times come

[Verse 3]
F#m               A            E
Everyone asks the President to use his rule
F#m          A                 E
He got power but it seems that he's a tool
             E             A    B
So these are wasted words, only wasted words
   A                        E
Oh Lord, let the good times come

[Verse 4]
F#m             A                E
Where's the end of the fight for freedom
F#m               A               E
It could turn out right and all I hope and long
                    E             A  B
That there'll be no wasted words, no wasted words
   A                        E
Oh Lord, let the good times come
