E
God evening Mr. Waldheim
D#m
And Pontiff how are you?
C#m
You have so much in common
B                 F#
In the things you do
E
And here comes Jesse Jackson
D#m
He talks of common ground
C#m
Does that common ground include me
B               F#
Or is it just a sound?
               E
A sound that shakes
   B               F#                   E    B  F# E
Oh Jesse, you must watch the sounds you make
              E
A sound that quakes
B                    F#           E
There are fears that still reverberate
E
Jesse you say common ground
D#m
Does that include the P.L.O?
C#m
What about people right here, right now
B                          F#
Who fought for you not so long ago?
E
The words that flow so freely
D#m
Falling dancing from your lips
C#m
I hope that you don't cheapen them
B             F#
With a racist slip
E
Oh common ground
   B               F#             E       B  F# E
Is common ground a word or just a sound?
E
Oh, oh, common ground
B                            F#                    E       B F#
Remember those civil rights workers buried in the ground
E
If I ran for president
D#m
And once was a member of the Klan
C#m
Wouldn't you call me on it
B                  F#
The way I call you on Farrakhan?
E
And Pontiff, pretty Pontiff
D#m
Can anyone shake your hand ?
C#m
Or is it just that you like uniforms
B                  F#
And someone kissing your hand?
E
Or is it true
    B                 F#              E     B  F# E
The common ground for me includes you too?
              E
Oh, oh, is it true
     B                F#              E     B  F# E
The common ground for me includes you too?
E
Good evening Mr. Waldheim
D#m
Pontiff how are you?
C#m
As you both stroll through the woods at night
B               F#
I'm thinking thoughts of you
E
And Jesse you're inside my thoughts
D#m
As the rhythmic words subside
C#m
My common ground invites you in
B                   F#
Or do you prefer to wait outside?
E
Or is it true
    B                 F#            E     B  F# E
The common ground for me is without you?
         E
Or is it true
B                     F#            E     B  F# E
The common ground for me is without you?
         E
Oh is it true
           B             F#                E    B  F#  E
There's no ground common enough for me and you?
