Where Has the Music Gone? - Mason Jennings

[tune down a half step]

Intro - [ C  C\G ]


Verse 1
C 	    C/G	       C/G
I'm the new kid on the indie street block

C	      C/G	    C		C/G
Raised on the classics from Son House To Bach

F	    F/C	  F        F/C
Fool on the hill, bullshit bill

C	    C/G	      C	          C/G
a phonebook directory full of mad skills

Verse 2
hey hey grammy, you never saw me coming
you were busy on your knees keeping eminem hummin
freedom is a crock, the business doesn't rock
you keep out the good stuff with your radio lock


Chorus
C   C/G     C    C/G
One day you will say

Am   Am/E     Am    Am/E
where has the music gone

C                   	  Am      
You'll turn on your radio only to find

Em			  G
It's all been replaced by dollar signs

C   C/G          C    C/G
And you'll still find us, 

Am             Am/E         Am      Am/E
kickin out the rock down at first avenue

C                              Am
you can do your best to try to put up a fight

Em                              G
it won't do no good because the vibe is to tight



Verse 3
Publisher's Clearinghouse you've got better odds
than trying to get your music past the corporate squats
all dressed in black face shields down
billy clubs bangin' turn that kinky reggae down

Verse 4
MTV too, what's the deal with you
I'm so sick of your sexy dancing teeny bopper crew
What's up with the guns, I hate the word whore
If money makes you act like that I think I'll stay poor

[ repeat chorus ]
