Intro
One, two ... A E D E
Verse
Hey now [A]now
[E] Hey hey [D]hey [E]
You may be [A]rich, you may be [E]poor
You may have [D]nothing in this world at [A]all
You may be [A]black, you maybe [E]white
You may be a [D]prisoner in your own [A]times
You may be [F#m]lost, you may be [D]found
You may have been [A]beaten up and knocked to the [Bm]ground
You may have [D]belief, suffer from [E]deceit
Or you just might be [A]blind [E]
Oh no [D]no [E]
Verse
You may affect the [A]truth, you may be seen as [E]false
You may be a [D]king or a [A]vagabond
You may be [A]up, you may be [E]down
You may sit in [D]judgement with the rest of the [A]clowns
You may have [F#m]love, you may have [D]hate
You may be the [A]President Of The United [Bm]States
But even [D]you, you can't sit and [E]hide
While the world's resources [G]die
[E]This is [A]absolute [E]reality [F#m]reality [D]reality
We are all the [A]cause
The solution [E]to [F#m]reality
Ha,[A] [E] [D] [A]
[A]Hey now now
[E]Hey now [D]now [E]
Verse
You may be in [A]control, you may be [E]controlled
You may sit [D]down 'till you do as you're [A]told
You may work [A]hard, you may never work at [E]all
You may be [D]accused but you don't know what [A]for
You may be [F#m]innocent or partly to [D]blame
You may just be [A]afraid in this power mad [Bm]age
But there's one [D]thing we all must [E]find
Some peace in our [G]time
[E]This is [A]absolute [E]reality [F#m]reality [D]reality
If I may speak of [A]truth this is [E]absolute reality
The [D]absolute time, the [A]absolute place
The [Bm]absolute now for the [A]absolute solution
It's [D]absolute [A]reality now
[Bm]Now Now Now [A] Now Now [D]Now
[E]This is [A]absolute [E]reality [F#m]reality [D]reality
This is [A]absolute [E]reality [F#m]reality [D]reality
This is [A]absolute
