C
grandpa said to cousin jed

F                C
sittin' on the porch,

                  G
"i won't retire

             F*
but i might retread

C
seems like that guy singin' this song

F                    C
been doin' it for a long time

                           G
is there anything he knows

               F*
that he ain't said?

C                 F
sing a song for freedom

C                 F
sing a song for love

C                F
sing a song for depressed angels

             C
falling from above"

C
grandpa held the paper

F                   C
pretendin' he could see

                        G              F*
but he couldn't read without his glasses on

C
"how can all these people

F                C
afford so many things?

         G                F*
people wore what they had on...and mama said

  C                  F
'a little love and affection

C                 F
in everything you do

C                      F
will make the world a better place

              C
with or without you'"

G*
a little love and affection

F
in everything you do

C
slammin' down a late night shot

F                         C
the hero and the artist compared

                         G
goals and visions and afterthoughts

F
for the 21st century

C
but mostly came up with nothin'

F                           C
so the truth was never learned

                              G          F
and the human race just kept rollin' on

C                     F
rollin' through the fighting

C                              F
rollin' through the religious wars

C                       F
rollin' down the temple walls

                         C
and the church's exposed sores

G*
rollin' through the fighting

F
the religious wars

G*
mostly came up with nothin'

C
"grandpa here's your glasses

F                       C
you'll see much better now,"

C                         G                F*
said that young girl of edith and earl's

C
but grandpa just kept starin'

F                             C
he was lost in some distant thought

                G        F Fsus2 F
to that young girl

C                     F
"a little love and affection

C                 F
in everything you do

C                             F
will make the world a better place

                 C
with or without you"

a better place

G*
with or without you

F
with or without you

C
hear that rooster crowin'

F
down on the double e

G                F*
dawning on the green

C
bouncing off the towers

F
and the sun's heading down for the streets

G                    F*
window shades are drawn

C                 F
another morning edition

C                F
headed for the porch

C                              F
because grandma puts down the paper

                           C
before grandpa raises his fork

G*
a little love and affection

F
in everything you do

G*             F
A Better Place

G*
hear the rooster crowing

F
down on the double e
