[Verse 1]
Gm7 F
High time we made a stand
EbMaj7 Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
EbMaj7 Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7 Am/D
DJ's the man we love the most
Gm7 F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
EbMaj7 Am7
And smash every hope of democracy
EbMaj7 Am/D
As the headline says you're free to choose
EbMaj7 Am/D
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
EbMaj7 Am/D
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
[Chorus x2]
C CMaj7 Am
Sowing the seeds of love
Am7 FMaj7
Seeds of love
Ab G7
Sowing the seeds
[Verse 2]
Gm7 F
I spy, tears in their eyes
EbMaj7 Am/D
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
EbMaj7 Am/D
intervention, food goes to waste
EbMaj7 Am/D
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Gm7 F
Politician granny with your high ideals
EbMaj7 Am7
Have you no idea how the majority feels
EbMaj7 Am/D
So without love and a promised land
EbMaj7 Am/D
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
EbMaj7 Am/D
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
[Chorus]
C CMaj7 Am
Sowing the seeds of love
Am7 FMaj7

The birds and the bees

My girlfriend and me, in love
