in celebration of the new album . . .
capo 7th fret .
G Cadd9 G
the world today can be a scary place
G D G
hard to keep your faith in the human race
G Cadd9 G
we’re running out of trees and we’re running out of space
D G
but we’ll never run out of good people
ask ’em for a shovel and they’ll dig you a hole
put the coffee on , call you in from the cold
if you get lost they’ll show you where to go
even give you a ride . . . good people
chorus : ( walk up to C from G via A/B )
C/G
good people are hard to find
right around the corner
G /A/B
at “the end of the line” , it’s true
C/G
good people got peace of mind
G D Dsus4
i’d like to spend some time with you , oooh – ooh
a man ain’t nothing if he ain’t got a friend
down and out , not a penny to spend
but the bells above will ring in the end
. . . for good people
chorus
melodica solo : | Em D Em D Em C D | Em C Em D |
rich and poor , we’re born to be free
fly around the world or sail the seven seas
but there’s no place i would rather be
than here right now with good people
chorus x2
the world today can be a scary place
hard to keep your faith in the human race
we’re running out of trees and were running out of space
but we’ll never run out of good people ( end cold on G )
