He  don't  know  he's a  man

 Intro
Just  take it nice  and easy,
 Don't go looking  for a fight,
 There's talk  of revolution,
 And they're out  in force tonight.
 And down  on the street,
 Where the whole  city's,
 Turning out,  singin "we'll  overcome",
 They're met  by the ranks,
 Of soldiers  and tanks,
 Who'll send  them back to  Kingdom Come.
 Cause a pawn  don't know he's a pawn,
 Or he'd draw  a line in the sand,
 But when  he's got his finger on that trigger,
 A man  don't know  he's a man...
He  don't  know  he's a  man...
 Intro
 So we celebrate  in silence,
 Every moment  our hearts still  beat,
 And we wear  the weight of violence,
 That's generations  deep.
 And sleep,  it comes slowly,
 When the whole  city's glowing,
Like  a fire  on the sun,
 And though the whole  world is sinking,
 There's some  fools still thinking,
 There's peace  at the end  of a gun.
 oh a pawn  don't know he's a  pawn,
 Or he'd draw  a line in the sand,
 But when  he's got his finger on that trigger,
 A man  don't know  he's a man...
 A man  don't know  he's a man...
He  don't  know  he's a  man...
 a pawn  don't know he's a pawn,
 Or he'd draw  a line in the sand,
 But when  he's got his finger on that trigger,
 A man  don't know  he's a man...
He  don't  know  he's a  man...

Intro  [E]
[E]Just take it nic[C]e and easy,
Don't go looki[G]ng for a fig[D]ht,
There's ta[E]lk of revolu[C]tion,
And they're o[G]ut in force ton[D]ight.
And do[E]wn on the st[C]reet,
Where the wh[G]ole city's,
Turning o[E]ut, singin "we[C]'ll over[G]come",
They're m[E]et by the ra[C]nks,
Of soldi[G]ers and tanks,
Who'll sen[E]d them back [C]to Kingdom C[G]ome.

Cause a pa[C]wn don't know he's a p[E]awn,
Or he'd d[G]raw a line in the sa[D]nd,
But wh[C]en he's got his finger on that tri[E]gger,
A m[G]an don't k[D]now he's a m[C]an...
[G]He d[D]on't kn[C]ow h[G]e's [A]a m[E]an...

[E]   [G]   [D]   [C/G]

Intro  [E]

So we cele[E]brate in sil[C]ence,
Every mo[G]ment our hearts sti[D]ll beat,
And we we[E]ar the weight of vio[C]lence,
That's gener[G]ations de[D]ep.

And sl[E]eep, it comes sl[C]owly,
When the wh[G]ole city's glowing,
[E]Like a f[C]ire on the s[G]un,
And though the wh[E]ole world is sin[C]king,
There's so[G]me fools still thinking,
There's pe[E]ace at the e[C]nd of a g[G]un.

oh a [C]pawn don't know he's a[E] pawn,
Or he'd d[G]raw a line in the sa[D]nd,
But wh[C]en he's got his finger on that tri[E]gger,
A m[G]an don't k[D]now he's a m[C]an...
A m[G]an don't k[D]now he's a m[C]an...
[G]He d[D]on't kn[C]ow h[G]e's [A]a m[E]an...

[E]   [G]   [D]   [C/G]

a p[C]awn don't know he's a p[E]awn,
Or he'd d[G]raw a line in the sa[D]nd,
But wh[C]en he's got his finger on that tri[E]gger,
A m[G]an don't k[D]now he's a m[C]an...
[G]He d[D]on't kn[C]ow h[G]e's [A]a m[E]an...

(end on [E])
