Going Underground Chords

(ver. 1)
The James Taylor Quartet
C                 Am                  C
Some people might say my life is in a rut
              Am                   C
But I'm quite happy with what I've got
             Am                           C
People might say that I should strive for more
           Am
But I'm so happy I can't see the point

A                     E
Something's happening here today
A                            E
A show of strength with your boy's brigade
A                    E
And I'm so happy and you're so kind
A                        E
You want more money - of course I don't mind
       F                     G
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
        C                    Cadd9  C
And the public gets what the public wants
    F                   G
But I want nothing this society's got

          C                  Cadd9
I'm going underground (going underground)
              F                         G
Well, let the brass bands play and feet start to pound
      C                  Cadd9
Going underground (going underground)
              F                         G                            C  G  F  G
Well, let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow

C                 Am                       C
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
         Am                   C
Me, I've enough already on my plate
             Am                   C
People might need some tension to relax
            Am
Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak

A               E
What you see is what you get
A                                  E
You've made your bed, you'd better lie in it
A                           E
You choose your leaders and place your trust
A                                     E
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
           F                           G
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
        C                     Cadd9  C
And the public wants what the public gets
    F                     G
But I don't get what this society wants


          C                  Cadd9
I'm going underground (going underground)
              F                         G
Well, let the brass bands play and feet start to pound
      C                  Cadd9
Going underground (going underground)
              F                         G                  C
Well, let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow

G          C   G
La la la la....La la la la
   C                         G
We talk and we talk until my head explodes
  C                       G
I turn on the news and my body froze
C                       Cadd9 C
These braying sheep on my TV screen
     F                    G
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

          C                  Cadd9
I'm going underground (going underground)
              F                         G
Well, let the brass bands play and feet start to pound
      C                  Cadd9
Going underground (going underground)
              F                         G                            C  G  F  G
Well, let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
