Verses just bass playing E
[Verse 1]
E
In a market place in old Bombay
E
The Dalai Lama shot Cassius Clay
E
I wonder what it is your looking for
E
And Tony Morrison and Malcolm X
E
Taught from the trees by their broken necks
E
I wonder what it is your looking for
E
And Charlie Parker and Kerouac
E
Looked into the light until their eyes went black
E
I wonder what it is your looking for
E
Aristotle said to Socrates
E
Even love wants victory
E
I wonder what it is your looking for

Verses All on E chord
[Verse 2]
E
Last night I had the same old dream
E
I was running through fields of green
E
Being chased by a little boy with a gun
E
I turned around and I saw his face
E
A shot was fired and the dream erased
E
I woke up burning on a funeral pyre
E
Standing over me was my only son
E
Swinging down his hammer 'til his work was done
E
Turning this body to bones, and these bones to dust
E
And takin' that dust to an old bird's nest
E
Out into the water up to his chest
E
And sinking that birds nest down in a river bed
E
And I took the river out to the see
E
Until the storm clouds called for me
E
And fell like rain on the soft souther soil
E
And up from the bottom on the first downbeat
E
Up through the congregations feet
E
Up like wind that shakes the leaves from the tree
E
Up through the fingers of the gospel singers
E
Up through the songs where the dead live on
E
Up, up, up
E E6
What did you lose, my friend
E6 E
What did you lose, my friend
