Patti Smith - People Have The Power

                         D                      G
I was dreaming in my dreaming
         D                       G
Of an aspect bright and fair
              D                    G
And my sleeping, it was broken 
              D                      G
But my dream it lingered near
           D                    G
In the form of shining valleys 
                D                   G
Where the pure air recognised
                 D            G
And my senses newly opened
     D                     G
I awakened to the cry
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m                     G
That the people have the power
       D                        Em
To redeem the work of fools
         F#m                          G
Upon the meek the graces shower
             D                     A
It's decreed, the people rule
 
[Chorus]
                D           G
People have the power
                Em         A
People have the power
                D           G
People have the power 
                Em         A
People have the power

[Verse]
               D                     G
Vengeful aspects became suspect
                   D                 G
And bending low as if to hear
             D                     G
And the armies ceased advancing
                    D                     G
Because the people had their ear
                D                      G
And the shepherds and the soldiers 
           D                         G
Lay beneath among the stars
                    D                      G
Exchanging visions and laying arms
       D               G
To waste in the dust
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        F#m                      G
In the form of shining valleys 
                 D               Em
Where the pure air recognised
              F#m           G
And my senses newly opened 
    D                      A
I awakened to the cry 
 
[Chorus]
             D          G
People have the power
             Em        A
People have the power
             D          G
People have the power 
             Em        A
People have the power

[Verse]
                          D                        G
Where there were deserts I saw fountains 
        D                        G
Like cream the waters rise 
              D                    G
And we strolled there together 
                    D                 G
With none to laugh or criticise 
               D                    G
And the leopard and the lamb 
           D                G
Lay together truly bound 
          D                 G
I was hoping in my hoping 
         D                    G
To recall what I had found
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       F#m                      G
I was dreaming in my dreaming 
         D                 Em
God knows a purer view 
     F#m                     G
As I lay down to my sleeping 
      D                          A
I commit my dream to you 
 
[Chorus]
             D           G
People have the power
            Em          A
People have the power
            D            G
People have the power 
            Em          A
People have the power
 
                      D            G
The power to dream, to rule 
       Em                            A
To wrestle the world from fools 
         D                        G
It's decreed, the people rule 
         Em                      A
It's decreed, the people rule 
 
  D                G
Listen, I believe everything we dream 
     Em                      A
Can come to pass through our union 
 D               G
We can turn the world around 
      Em                     A
We can turn the earth's revolution 
 
                D         G
People have the power
                Em       A
People have the power
                D         G
People have the power 
                Em       A
People have the power
 
               D        G
The power to dream, to rule 
     Em                    A
To wrestle the world from fools 
         D                G
It's decreed, the people rule 
         Em               A
It's decreed, the people rule
