[Intro]
A
[Verse1]
A
Well come on, you weak of knees
A
Afraid of the thought police
A F A
You who say our generation is forsaken
A
Get out of your clouds of weed
A
Get out of your time machines
A F A
You can say that the sleeper has awakened
[Chorus]
D
A D
You gotta scream and shout
D
If you’re gonna work this out
F
Change comes when the water falls
F D A
I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river
[Verse2]
A
Well the walls are closing in
A
And your head’s in constant spin
A F A
And the pain in your eyes I do comprehend
A
Don’t believe celebrities
A
The money-suckin’ MPs
A F A
The device in your hands, imitation beauty
[Chorus]

You gotta scream and shout

Change comes when the water falls

I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river

Lick your lip like a prize fighter
A
Surely you can take a punch

Your knuckles can’t get no wither
A
They’re gonna you for lunch, boy
A
So come on
[Outro]

You gotta scream and shout
D
If you’re gonna work this out

Change comes when the water falls

I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river
