Verses - (just bass playing E)
In a market place in old Bombay
The Dalhi Lhama shot Cassius Clay
I wonder what it is your looking for

And Tony Morrison and Malcolm X
Taught from the trees by their broken necks
I wonder what it is your looking for

And Charlie Parker and Kerouac
Looked into the light until their eyes went black
I wonder what it is your looking for

Aristotle said to Socrates
Even love wants victory
I wonder what it is your looking for



Verses - (All on E chord)
Last night I had the same old dream
I was running through fields of green
Being chased by a little boy with a gun

I turned around and I saw his face
A shot was fired and the dream erased
I woke up burning on a funeral pyre

Standing over me was my only son
Swinging down his hammer 'til his work was done
Turning this body to bones, and these bones to dust

And takin' that dust to an old bird's nest
Out into the water up to his chest
And sinking that birds nest down in a river bed

And I took the river out to the see
Until the storm clouds called for me
And fell like rain on the soft souther soil

And up from the bottom on the first downbeat
Up through the congregations feet
Up like wind that shakes the leaves from the tree

Up through the fingers of the gospel singers
Up through the songs where the dead live on
Up, up, up

	        E           E6
What did you lose, my friend

                E6          E
What did you lose, my friend
