TEARS FOR FEARS: "SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE"
(Roland Orzabal / Curt Smith)
Verse One:
High time we made a stand
Maj7
And shook up the views of the common man
Maj7
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Maj7
DJ's the man we love the most
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
Maj7
And smash every hope of democracy
Maj7
As the headline says you're free to choose
Maj7
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
Maj7
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
Chorus:
Maj7
Sowing the seeds of love
Maj7 Maj7
Seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
(Repeat)
Verse two (same chords as verse one):
I spy, tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
intervention, food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
(Chorus)
Instrumental:
Maj7
Maj7
Maj7
Maj7
Verse Three:
Maj7 Maj7
Feel the pain, talk about it
Maj7 Maj7
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
Maj7 Maj7
Open hearts, feel about it
Maj7 Maj7
Open minds, think about it
Maj7 Maj7
Everyone, read about it
Maj7 Maj7
Everyone, scream about it
Maj7 Maj7
Everyone, everyone
Maj7 Maj7
Everyone, read about it
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read
(Chorus -- omit words)
Bridge:
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Mister England sowing the seeds of love
Verse Four:
Time to eat all your words
Maj7
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words
Maj7
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
High time we made a stand
Maj7
And shook up the views of the common man
Maj7
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
Maj7
Every minute of every hour
Maj7
I love a sunflower
Maj7 Ma Maj7 Ma
And I believe in love power, love power, love
power
(Chorus)
Ending:
Sowing the seeds
An end to need
And the politics of greed
Enjoy,
