Chords

============================================================= At the chorus and the solo part, power chords suit better. D5 instead of Dm, C5 instead of C. Last Chorus, (*)=Second voice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Intro] Dm---C-Bb- [x2] [Verse]

  Make the sadness go away    Come back another day

For years I've tried to teach   But their eyes are empty

Empty, too, I have become   For them I must die

A sad and troubled race   An ungrateful troubled place

Melancholy in their cries

Devoid of all the passion

The human spirit cannot die

This is what I cry for
