People Have The Power by Patti Smith - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Patti Smith Song List
Version 1 Version 2
I noticed there is no accurate tab of this masterpiece on UG, and I think it's a shame not to have it...
So here is the complete tab, hope it's fine. Please rate and comment.
Long live the Godmother of punk! ...and a big "thank you" to all those people who are
patient and spend a bit of their time to leave a comment and make this tab better,
people have the power indeed.
[Verse]
D G
I was dreaming in my dreaming
D G
Of an aspect bright and fair
D G
And my sleeping, it was broken
D G
But my dream it lingered near
D G
In the form of shining valleys
D G
Where the pure air recognised
D G
And my senses newly opened
D G
I awakened to the cry
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G
That the people have the power
D Em
To redeem the work of fools
F#m G
Upon the meek the graces shower
D A
It's decreed, the people rule
[Chorus]
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
/ D / G / x2
[Verse]
D G
Vengeful aspects became suspect
D G
And bending low as if to hear
D G
And the armies ceased advancing
D G
Because the people had their ear
D G
And the shepherds and the soldiers
D G
Lay beneath among the stars
D G
Exchanging visions and laying arms
D G
To waste in the dust
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G
In the form of shining valleys
D Em
Where the pure air recognised
F#m G
And my senses newly opened
D A
I awakened to the cry
[Chorus]
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
/ D / G / x4
[Verse]
D G
Where there were deserts I saw fountains
D G
Like cream the waters rise
D G
And we strolled there together
D G
With none to laugh or criticise
D G
And the leopard and the lamb
D G
Lay together truly bound
D G
I was hoping in my hoping
D G
To recall what I had found
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G
I was dreaming in my dreaming
D Em
God knows a purer view
F#m G
As I lay down to my sleeping
D A
I commit my dream to you
[Chorus]
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
D G
The power to dream, to rule
Em A
To wrestle the world from fools
D G
It's decreed, the people rule
Em A
It's decreed, the people rule
D G
Listen, I believe everything we dream
Em A
Can come to pass through our union
D G
We can turn the world around
Em A
We can turn the earth's revolution
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
D G
People have the power
Em A
People have the power
D G
The power to dream, to rule
Em A
To wrestle the world from fools
D G
It's decreed, the people rule
Em A
It's decreed, the people rule
