TEARS FOR FEARS: "SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE"
(Roland Orzabal / Curt Smith)
Verse One:
-----------------
Gm7 F
High time we made a stand
EbMaj7 Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
EbMaj7 Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7 Am/D
DJ's the man we love the most
Gm7 F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
EbMaj7 Am7
And smash every hope of democracy
EbMaj7 Am/D
As the headline says you're free to choose
EbMaj7 Am/D
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
EbMaj7 Am/D
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
Chorus:
-----------
C CMaj7 Am
Sowing the seeds of love
AmMaj7 FMaj7
Seeds of love
Ab G7
Sowing the seeds
(Repeat)
Verse two (same chords as verse one):
---------------------------------------------------------
I spy, tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
intervention, food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
(Chorus)
Instrumental:
-------------------
Fmaj7 EbMaj7
Fmaj7 EbMaj7
F EbMaj7
F EbMaj7
F Eb Bb
F Eb Bb
F Eb Bb
F Eb Bb
Verse Three:
------------------
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Feel the pain, talk about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Open hearts, feel about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Open minds, think about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, read about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, scream about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, everyone
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, read about it
Eb D7
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read
(Chorus -- omit words)
Bridge:

Sowing the seeds of love
Am7 D
Sowing the seeds
Am7 D
Sowing the seeds of love
Am7 D
Sowing the seeds of love
D Ddim G5 D
Mister England sowing the seeds of love
Verse Four:
-----------------
Gm7 F
Time to eat all your words
EbMaj7 Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7 F
Time to eat all your words
EbMaj7 Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7 F
High time we made a stand
EbMaj7 Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
EbMaj7 Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7 Am/D
Every minute of every hour
EbMaj7 Am/D
I love a sunflower
EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D
And I believe in love power, love power, love
power
(Chorus)
Ending:
-----------
Ab G7
Sowing the seeds
Ab G7
An end to need
Ab G7
And the politics of greed
Enjoy,
M. Triana
