[Verse 1]
 E         A
Make me a fist
 E                        A
Purple Mountain road that I can't miss
                  E
Have we all had enough?
        A            E
Have we all had too much?
            A
Lost in a dream
  E                         A
Please step down from your bully machine
                   E
Can we all back it up?
       A           C#
Can we all give it up?
