This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics: (my interpretation)

(Verse)

If I had the money there would be a lot of friends, seeking always

something if I gave it out in $10's. And if I give a little more than

what I really need, I'd be a savior tell somebody 'bout the feat (?)

So why can't I give something more? I cry out to myself. Selfish man I

know I am, cannot help myself know I am now.

(Chorus)

Wishin' I was doing something more

And I'm aware of people fighting wars

We are the ones who can make a change

We are the ones who can start and make a change.

(Verse)

So many times I think this world, it has no problems. We always think

that nothing bad, could ever happen to us.

So why can't I give something more? I cry out to myself.

Selfish man I know I am, cannot help myself know I am now.

(Repeat chorus)

And that's it! I hope this tab sounds right to you. E-mail me with your

comments, questions, changes, etc.
