(Intro) AABDm7 F#m (vamp)x4 F#B9 x2 (Verse 1) F#m7 B9 In the streets of New York City every man can feel the cold, F#m7 B9 and I don't want no pity, but I want my story told. F#m7 B9 And the lights shine down on me, they shine on the little boy, F#m7 B9 is this the way to make him pay being born in a world of joy? A Amaj7 But like me,he don't know where he'll go wrong, Bm7 he won't cry so many tears Dm till he finds out why he don't belong. A Amaj7 Like me, there's no room for us out there, Bm7 you can lose your hope and pride, Dm F#m7 when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share. B9 F#m7 B9 Sometimes a man breaks down, F#m7 B9 and the good things he is looking for F#m7 B9 are crushed into the ground. (Chorus) F#m7 B9 Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? F#m7 B9 Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? FB97 (Verse 2) F#m7 B9 Don't you understand what I'm saying? We need a god down here, F#m7 B9 a man to lead us children, take us from the valley of fear. F#m7 B9 Make the lights shine down on us, show us the road to go, F#m7 B9 help us survive, make us arrive, teach us what we need to know. A Amaj7 Like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong, Bm7 he won't cry so many tears Dm till he finds out why he don't belong. A Amaj7 Like me, there's no room for us out there, Bm7 you can lose your hope and pride, Dm F#m7 when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share. B9 F#m7 B9 Sometimes a man breaks down, F#m7 B9 and the good things he is looking for F#m7 B9 are crushed into the ground. (Chorus 2) F#m7 B9 Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? F#m7 B9 Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? F#m7 B9 Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? F#m7 B9 Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? F#m7 B9 Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? F#m7 B9 Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change?
