[C]Famines will be[Dm] fam[G]ine[F]s, banquets will be [C]banqu[Dm]ets[G] [F]
S[C]ome spend winter [Dm]in a palac[G]e, [F]some spend it [C]in bl[Dm]anke[G]ts.[F]
Don't w[C]ag your fingers [Dm]at them and [G]turn to walk a[F]way
Don't sh[C]oot someone tom[Dm]orrow that y[G]ou can shoot to[F]day
[Em]Time to end the pra[F]ying
[Em]Listen what they're sa[F]ying
[G]Get up off our knees
You can w[C]ag your finger 'till your a[Dm]nger's sore
Sh[G]ake your head 'till it sh[F]akes no more
You can w[C]ag your finger 'till your a[Dm]nger's sore
Sh[G]ake your head 'till it sh[F]akes no more
Pau[C]pers will be pa[Dm]uper[G]s, [F]bankers will be ba[C]nkers[Dm] [G] [F]
S[C]ome own pennies [Dm]in a jar[G], s[F]ome own oil tan[C]kers[Dm] [G] [F]
What m[C]ay sound like tom[Dm]orrow c[G]ould be ours to[F]day
There's [C]no more need for so[Dm]rrow if we get o[G]ff our knees to[F] pray
[Em]Time to end the pra[F]ying
[Em]Listen what they're sa[F]ying
[G]Get up off our knees
You can w[C]ag your finger 'till your a[Dm]nger's sore
Sh[G]ake your head 'till it sh[F]akes no more
You can w[C]ag your finger 'till your a[Dm]nger's sore
Sh[G]ake your head 'till it sh[F]akes no more
Cou[C]ntries will be co[Dm]untries[G], bor[F]ders will be [C]borde[Dm]rs[G] [F]
S[C]ome have lost their f[Dm]olks at war[G], s[F]ome have [C]given[Dm] ord[G]ers[F]
Don't w[C]ag your fingers [Dm]at them and t[G]urn to walk a[F]way
Don't sh[C]oot someone tom[Dm]orrow that y[G]ou can shoot to[F]day
[Em]Time to end the pra[F]ying
[Em]Listen what they're sa[F]ying
[G]Get up off our knees
You can w[C]ag your finger 'till your a[Dm]nger's sore
Sh[G]ake your head 'till it sh[F]akes no more
You can w[C]ag your finger 'till your a[Dm]nger's sore
Sh[G]ake your head 'till it sh[F]akes no more
