INTRO Dm 2X  James and Scottie only

Dm


V1 Hey, did you see the smoke outside and the fire in the air

or were you looking at the mudslide -on the mountains over there

the rains keep comin’, the chopper’s hummin’ it don’t seem fair

Worlds on fire and no body’s comin’ ----- does anybody care?


V2 The sunset’s looking good tonight, but the sky is red and gray

world leaders come and go and turn the other way

what we gonna do for the children when it comes their time of day

worlds on fire and the water rises ----- washing them away


CHORUS: Loud and dirty (all sing)

D                                 C

People got to rise up, rise up, rise up with desire

People got to rise up, rise up, it’s down to the wire

G

People got to wise up, wise up ---   Worlds on fire


D Lick:  Paul and Scott Only 2X


LEAD: Ken (Like a verse)


INTERLUDE If we stand up tall --- we all have a say  (whole band sings)

It’s the only home we know ---(whole band sings) and it’s fading away

If we take it all  --- and don’t give back to this place (whole band sings)

The world will burn without a stand --- we lose the human race


CHORUS: Loud and dirty (all sing)


D Lick:  Paul and Scott Only 2X


LEAD: Paul (Like V1)


INTERLUDE – 1st 2 lines acapella


CHORUS  Hold G longer


End on Dm (1X)
