Xavier Rudd – Better People (Guitar)

F#               G#
  People saving whales,

                 B              C#
And giving your thanks to our seas,

    F#                        G#
My respect to the ones in the forest,

         B               C#
Standing up for our old trees

[Chorus]
(This strumming pattern is pretty common in xaviers songs. Use it at this
chorus, and for the rest of the song after this chorus.)

             F#    
Them giving food to the hungry,

B
Hope to the needy,

      C#
Giving life to a baby,

       B
Giving care for free,

                F#
'Cause there is freedom around us,

        B
We have everything we need,

           C#
And I will care for you,

           B
'Cause you care for me.

         F#
And we all have opinions,

B
Some of them get through,

           C#
But theres better people,

          B
With more good to do.

        F#    B     C#     C#
Good to do

F#                            G#
And what I have could be my search

               B           C#
Or just some words from my heart

    F#                          G#
My respect to the ones making changes

             B                       C#
For all the lives theyll give their all

                  F#    
Like them giving food to the hungry,

B
Hope to the needy,

      C#
Giving life to a baby,

       B
Giving care for free,

                F#
'Cause there is freedom around us,

        B
We have everything we need,

           C#
And I will care for you,

           B
'Cause you care for me.

Good to do

          B                               F#
When our world it keeps spinning round and round it goes

       B                              F#
Human nature keeps on spreading its disease

         B                             F#
And our children keep growing up with what they know

             G#                 C#
From what we teach and what they see

          B                      F#
And it's only a question of the time we have

          B                      C#
And the lives that our children need

               B                          F#
Cause they can only keep growing up with what they know

            G#                    C#
And what we teach, and what they see

                  F#    
Like giving food to the hungry,

B
Hope to the needy,

      C#
Giving life to a baby,

       B
Giving care for free,

                F#
'Cause there is freedom around us,

        B
We have everything we need,

           C#
