[intro:  E   Esus2     E   E   Esus2  E]
EEvil, it's been here Aall along
EGood things, they just seem to have Acome and gone
EIn my life I have seen so Amuch go Ewrong
EAnd there's only one way Aleft for us to Cget aElong
Chorus:
You got to Ebend a little Aone way or the other
You got to Eleave your mind Aopen to discover
CSeems I've been Gfightin' it all aFlong
You got to Cbend a little no Gmatter which side you're Fon
                  E (3rd time play Bb?)
Or soon you'll be gone
Papers, they print it every day
Housewife, wraps the garbage then throws it away
I don't guess she thinks they have that much to say
But when the time is right she'll be the lady with so much to pay
Repeat chorus:
History, it teaches much too well
Nations, had to rise up before they fell
And my eyes see the story they're tryin' to tell
And tonight I think I heard the final toll of the bell
Repeat chorus
CSeems I've been Gfightin' it all aFlong
I've been a Ffightin' and a Ffightin'
Got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
It's a long and and dirty battle
It seems I've been fightin' it all along
I've been a tearin' and a pullin'
Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on
Yes I know cause
It seems I've been fightin' it all along
I've been a punchin' and a gougin'
And it seems no matter which side you're on
I've been a tearin' and a rippin' and
It seems I've been fightin' it all along
It don't matter 'cause you know you
Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on
You got to bend a little backwards
Cause it seems I've been fightin' it all along
Cause it seems I've been fightin'...
You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
