1st Verse
 G               C          G 
   Who'd like to change the world

 G              C          G 
   Who wants to shoot the curl

 D             C        G 
   Who gets to work for bread

 D              C    Em 
   Who wants to get ahead

 G               C     G 
   Who hands out equal rights

 G                C         G 
   Who starts and ends that fight

 D             C        G 
   And not not rant and rave

 D    C        Em        D 
   Or end up a slave

 G              C        G 
   Who can make hard won gains

 G               C      G 
   Fall like the summer rain

 D           C        G 
   Now every man must be

 D          C        Em 
   What his life can be

    C     D     Em      C                  G 
 So don't call, me, the tune, I will walk away

Em D 2nd Verse:
 G              C          G 
  Who want's to please everyone

 G            C          G 
  Who says it all can be done

 D             C       G 
  Still sit up on that fence

 D            C        Em 
  No-one I've heard of yet

 G             C     G 
  Don't call me baby

 G             C     G 
  Don't talk in maybes

  Don't talk like has-beens

 D             C        Em      D 
  Sing it like it should be

 G                  C          G 
  Who laughs at the nagging doubt

 G           C    G 
  Lying on a neon shroud

 D           C        G 
  Just gotta touch someone

 D          C      Em 
  I want to be

     C    D     Em      C 
 So don't call, me, the tune, I will walk away

 C     D     Em      C 
 Don't call, me, the tune, I will walk away

 C     D     Em      C                 G 
 Don't call, me, the tune, I will walk away
