[Verse 1]
C
Well this is real talk
C7
This is not on-star
F C G
It is looped now tongue and mind.
C
Played off the sidewalk,
C7
straight to your boombox,
F C G
how it travels from ear to memory.
C
Well this is medicine,
C7
there's a message with in,
F G C
and I hope each will find there own kind.
[Riff] x3
(This repeats for the next three verses)
[Verse 2]
C
Well I was listening,
C7
to the outgoing season
F C G
about climate change and some of the reasons,
C C7
when the sky opened, like I'd been hope'n
F C G
and there came horses by the thousands
C
and there was thunder on their tongues
C7
and lightning on their minds
F G
and they singing this old melody
C
from some other time
[Chorus] x2
F G C C/B Am
They sang don't waste your H - at - e.
F G C C/B Am
Rather gather and cr - ea - te
F G
Be a service, be a sensible person.
C C/B Am
Use your words and don't be nervous.
F G C
You can do this you've got purpose.
F G C
Find your medicine and use it.
