Dallas Taylor drums
Paul Harris keyboards
Joe Lala congos
Fuzzy Samuel bass
G D C G
So many times I've been fooling myself
G/f# Em D C G
It's a hard hand to play falls on nobody else
G D C G G/F#
Those in the city reaching out to grab hold
Em D
Of something they've only heard about
C G
And never been shown
Em A7
Who do you turn to and what do you say
Em A7
When she's got the power and she got the way
C
Does it matter at all
A7
Who survives and who falls
C
When we live under darkness
Em C Em C
And hide behind walls
SOLO
G D C G
Why would anyone even try to hold sway
G/f# Em D
Over somebody else
C G
In such a small way
G D C G
Where are the answers to the problems we face
G/f# Em
Who would teach us
D C G
About sharing and living in grace
Em A7
Who do you turn to and what do you say
Em A7
When she's got the power and she got the way
C
Does it matter at all
A
Who survives and who falls
C
When we live under darkness
Em C Em G D C G
And hide behind walls
