[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
Seeds of love
Ab                      G7
Sowing the seeds
        Ab                   G7
The birds and the bees
Ab                        G7        Fmaj7
My girlfriend and me, in love

Feel the pain, talk about it
                  FMaj7                               EbMaj7
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
FMaj7                EbMaj7
Open hearts, feel about it
FMaj7               EbMaj7
Open minds, think about it
FMaj7            EbMaj7
Everyone, read about it
FMaj7             EbMaj7
Everyone, scream about it
FMaj7         EbMaj7
Everyone, everyone
FMaj7           EbMaj7
Everyone, read about it

Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read

Gm7                               F
Time to eat all your words
                                EbMaj7                 Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7                               F
Time to eat all your words
                                EbMaj7                 Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes

And shook up the views of the common man
                         EbMaj7                       Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7                        Am/D
Every minute of every hour
EbMaj7    Am/D
I love a sunflower
EbMaj7     Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D
And I believe in love power, love power, love

Ab                      G7
Sowing the seeds
         Ab          G7
An end to need

And the politics of greed
