E E D F#m
[Verse 1]
E
Listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat

It has a cold wind blowing up through the street

Soul crying out, people crying out
E
In through the valleys, in through the streets
E
Feel the whole world moving underneath our feet
D F#m
Something's going on I said what is going wrong
E
I feel them coming so close behind
E
Sister says, we're next in line
E
The man he says, that's OK
E
And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay
[Chorus]

And you pay

Still you pay

It's just a soul crying out

I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street

See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat

I hear what they say
F#m
But I don't believe what they say

I see the woman, with tears in her eyes
E
I hear the baby, calling in the night
E
Something on the bed, was it something she said
D
Hell this is not right
F#m
What goes on through the night
E
I hear her coming, all in my mind
E
Sweet common love, so hard to find
E
Someone said, man outside
E D
And the people walk by, cos they're so blind
[Chorus]

And you pay
E
Still you pay

It's the earth crying out

And I can feel you crying out
