Where Have All The Good People Gone
by Sam Roberts
[Intro] A D x2
[Verse 1]
A D
Oh, the Milky Way has gone a little sour
The leaves dried and the flower fell away
I've been sitting, waitin' for a sign
In human beings taking up all-a my time
[Chorus]
E7
Wanna leave, but I got to stay
A
And I'm wonderin' more ev'ry day
E7
Montreal to Hong Kong, where have all the good people gone?
A
Traffic jam, but I'm on the shoulder, took ten cops to pull me over
G D A
Bangkok to Babylon, Where have all the good people gone?
[Verse 2]
Haven't made a friend in a long, long while
(They) don't check my head, but they, they check my style
The modern world is a cold, cold world
(And) all I need are cold, cold girls
[Chorus] [hold the D as D7, then play intro for a while]
E7
Wanna leave, but I got to stay
A
And I'm wonderin' more ev'ry day
E7
Montreal to Hong Kong, where have all the good people gone?
A
Traffic jam, but I'm on the shoulder, took ten cops to pull me over
G D A
Bangkok to Babylon, Where have all the good people gone?
[Bridge]
Oh, the Milky Way has gone a little sour
The leaves dried and the flower fell away
[Chorus] x2
E7
Wanna leave, but I got to stay
A
And I'm wonderin' more ev'ry day
E7
Montreal to Hong Kong, where have all the good people gone?
A
Traffic jam, but I'm on the shoulder, took ten cops to pull me over
G D A
Bangkok to Babylon, Where have all the good people gone?
[Last line of second chorus:]
Times up and we're running long, Where have all the good people gone?
[hold the D as D7, then play intro for a while]
