Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Crowded afternoon  and there's not  enough room  in the city  today
The  people  assembled to hear what  resembled  evangelists  say
Some  came just to see them for a laugh
 Others to be free
Fools  must  pretend to be  wise
 We've  a faith that we use  as a heavy  disguise.
 Same chords ..
 Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands
 The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands
 I'd so many questions I could ask
 I wanted to be free
 Fools must pretend to be wise
 We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
 Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived
 Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive
 Can't ignore the feeling in the air
 Glad that I was there
 Fools must pretend to be wise
 We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
 Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right
 And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight
 I cannot begin to understand
 The suffering tonight
 Fools must pretend to be wise
 We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.

Same chords ..

Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands

The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands

I'd so many questions I could ask

I wanted to be free

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.

Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived

Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive

Can't ignore the feeling in the air

Glad that I was there

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.

Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right

And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight

I cannot begin to understand

The suffering tonight

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
