These chords are easy, so I'm not gonna' write them down. You can use
power or open chords. They both sound pretty good (I like to mix them).
Chorus:
[C]We are a common people, [G]each of us a fallen man
[Am]Let's find that common ground and stop[F] drawing lines in the sand
[C]We are a common people, [G]living in a common life
[Am]There are ties that bind us all when we [F]look beyond the lines
[Am]Common p[G]eople you and [F]I
[Am]Common p[G]eople you and [F]I
[C]I see a blind man on the street
[G]He doesn't know what I look like
[Am]So he can't judge the man I am
[F]Except by what he sees inside
[C]I see a child on the street
[G]He doesn't know the mistakes I've made
[Am]I know he takes me where I am
[F]He sees a friend not a crusade
Chorus.
[C]I see a brother on the other side
[G]of my crusade, my holy fight
[Am]I think I know where I went wrong
[F]when I gave up love to be proved right
[C]I saw a man die on a cross
[G]He forgot the mistakes I've made
[Am]He died for me the way I was
[F]and He wants me to love the same
Chorus.
Can't we [Dm]tear the fences down?
Can't we [Am]rip the labels off?
Can we s[F]hare the common ground
instead of [C]judging what is [G]not?
Can't we[Dm] love instead of hate?
Can't we[Am] trust instead of fear?
Can we stop [F]fighting for a moment
and [C]feel our common [G]fear?
[Am]Is it us against them, [G]wrong against right,
[F]black against white, my kind your kind?
[Am]There comes a time to put the [G]argument down
and have a [F]party on the common ground!
Chorus.
