I thought the previous version posted here was a bit bland
with just two chords, so I have fleshed it out a bit to make
it more interesting to play and I think it sounds better too.
Put a capo on the 2nd fret for the correct key or just play
it in G !! Thanks to Fidgety Gunman for getting me started.

SGomething's going on, a chA7ange is taking place  
ChCildren smiling in the street have gDone without a trace
This strGeet used to be full, it uA7sed to make me smile  
And nCow it seems that everyone is waDlking in single file
And mAmany bow their heCads in shame
That uEmsed to hold them hDigh
And tAmhose that used to sCay hello  
SEmimply pass you bDy
ThCink for a mDinute, sEmtop for a mDinute  
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
I aGlways said it could, they neA7ver though it would
The pCeople look so pitiful, I'm thDinking that it should
And nGow it's almost here, nA7ow it's on it's way,  
I cCan't help saying told you so and hDave a nice final day
Cause nAmothing I could sCay
Could ever mEmake them see the lDight
Now aAmpathy is hCappy that  
It wEmon without a fDight
ThCink for a mDinute, sEmtop for a mDinute  
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
And mAmany bow their heCads in shame
That uEmsed to hold them hDigh
And tAmhose that used to sCay hello  
SEmimply pass you bDy
ThCink for a mDinute, sEmtop for a mDinute  
Think for a minute, stop for a minute

Ah yeah, ah yeah, ooh-ooh,  ooh-ooh

This street used to be full, it used to make me smile

And now it seems that everyone is walking in single file

Am C

And many bow their heads in shame

Em D

That used to hold them high

Am C

And those that used to say hello

Em D

Simply pass you by

C D Em D

Think for a minute, stop for a minute

G A7

I always said it could, they never though it would

C D

The people look so pitiful, I'm thinking that it should

G A7

And now it's almost here, now it's on it's way,

C D

I can't help saying told you so and have a nice final day

Am C

Cause nothing I could say

Em D

Could ever make them see the light

Am C

Now apathy is happy that

Em D

It won without a fight

C D Em D

Think for a minute, stop for a minute

Am C

And many bow their heads in shame

Em D

That used to hold them high

Am C

And those that used to say hello

Em D

Simply pass you by

Think for a minute, stop for a minute
