INTRO: C  Em  Dm  F  (2x)
 
C                       Em
Tables were turning and papers were burning
    D               F
The undisputed were doomed
     C                     Em
When music was victimized, innocence scandalized
D                        F
Star-people left for the moon
                    C
And no one was the wiser
Am            G
No one ever knew, ooh
    C               G
And no one knew but me (and the chosen)
C               G
No one knew but me (and the chosen)
C      F        G                 C  G
No one knew but me and the chosen few
               C  G
And the chosen few
               C
And the chosen few
 
 
                              Em
When she and the old man were splitting again
        D                      F
And the planet was right for a change
     C                      Em
When Africa called and they stalled America
D                  F
Never to hear her again
                     C
I'm always so amazed that
Am            G
No one ever knew
    C               G
And no one knew but me (and the chosen)
    C               G
And no one knew but me (and the chosen)
C      F        G                 C  G
No one knew but me and the chosen few
               C  G
And the chosen few
               C
And the chosen few
 
 
INTERLUDE:
        F       G       C            Am          C
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

      C                      Em
So we live and change and we come back again
        D                                F
And our brothers scream, "Where have you been?"
        C                        Em
As they lay waste the planet and torture the dreamer
    D                       F
The picture's looking quite dim
                         C
Won't someone change the channel
      Am                G
Can't stand the evening news
    C               G
And no one knew but me
    C               G
And no one knew but me
C               G
No one knew but me and the chosen
C               G
No one knew but me and the chosen
C               G
No one knew but me and the chosen
C      F        G                 C  G
No one knew but me and the chosen few
               C  G
And the chosen few
               C  
And the chosen few
