The Power
View chords used in this chart
A E
Through endless Asia
Bm F#m
through the fields of Cathay.
A E
Or enslaved in a pebble-dash grave
Bm F#m
with a kid on the way
A E
If you're far over Africa
Bm F#m
on the wings of youth
A E
Or if you're down in some satellite town
Bm F#m
and there's nothing you can do
D E
Just give me, give me, give me the power
C#m F#m
and I'll make them believe
D E
Give me, give me, give me the power,
F E
Although I'm just the common breed
You might live in a screen kiss,
it's a glamourous dream.
Or belong to a wotld that's gone
it's the English disease.
(The break in the middle is
F G F G F G F G E)
