Paul Revere & The Raiders

Shh, ahh
Seems this worlds got you down
Your feelin' bad vibrations frown
Well, open your eyes girl, look at me
I'm gonna show you how it ought to be

We're gonna' have a good thing
Such a good thing baby

And when your world don't seem just right
And life's gettin' you uptight
You can change that wrong to right (wrong to right)
Cause I was there myself last night (there last night)

Girl, I really had a good thing
Such a good thing baby
I, I, I won't have no one now
No one around, to bring you down
Well...groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a good, good, good, good thing girl

Gotta hear me, you can't please them all, should you try
They don't care if you live or die
Cause their losers, what a shame (what a shame)
I'm gonna show you to a brand new game (brand new game)

Girl, we're gonna have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

I won't tell you no,no, no lies
When I'm through, you'll realize
For the first time it seems right (feels so right)
I'm gonna stay right here tonight (stay tonight)

Girl, we'll really have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

Nobody, no one around, to bring you down
Well...groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a good, good, good, good thing
Such a good thing, girl
Such a good thing, baby
Such a, such a, such a, good thing, baby

girl you got this need to know what I'm all about

there was something that you dig you can't figure out

now you want to know what moves my soul

and what dips inside of my brain

well I got this need I just can't control (with "ooh")

and it's driving me insane

I can't take it, ow, because I'm


hungry for those good things baby

hungry through and through

I'm hungry for that sweet life baby

with a real fine girl like you
(rif, fast)
I can almost taste it baby
and it's sweet as wine



there's a custom-tailored world that I want to own, someday

with a special place of hiding we can stay alone, you and me

girl I'm gonna' have it all someday if you'll just hang on to my hand

if I break some rules along the way, you gotta' understand (with "ooh")

it's my way of gettin' what I want now, 'cause I'm hungry



(add following lines:)
well I ain't gonna' waste it now
when it's finally mine

(chords like intro:)

'till I've had my fill, ah girl I'll be rollin' in it

yes, yes you know I

will, yes I will, wahhh!

girl you got this need to know what I'm all about

I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump"
I through my close and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport and run to the ticket line
Man said "Son, you could have saves the run, those airplanes just quit flyin'"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum

I ran to the terminal building, to fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing and I said that was fine
He said "I'll confirm your reservation, and put the plane on hold"
He came back and said "Sorry but that wing space just been sold"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum, baby

I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire
Throw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in, so scare his face was white
So, I explained my situation, he said "That's all right"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my thing again
Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
The driver said "I'm sorry but this taxi's out of gas"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Read the news in the Times today...said the world is goin' round (world is
goin' round)
I don't care what somebody said, somebody always puts 'em down (always puts
'em down)
Red or yellow, black or white?
Are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screamin' in the middle of the ni-i-i-ight?

Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Everbody wonders 'bout the crowd's reaction.
And the world gets better by a very small fraction.

Turn around til you see a face and it won't be very long (Won't be very long)
Someone soon will be in your place and it won't be very wrong (won't be very
wrong)
Red or yellow, black or white.....


Now's our chance to change the world,
Change the world with love, with love...
