[Verse 1]
Em                    D               C    
Please lay down your pistols and your rifles
Em                   D                Am  
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Em                    D                C C/B Am Am/G 
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one

Concentrate on what you ought to be

[Verse 2]
Em                 D                  C
Then lay down your bullshit and your protests
Em                  D              Am
Then lay down your governments of greed
Em                   D           C  C/B Am Am/G 
Take a look at what lies all around you
D          C                 Bm
Then pray God we can live in peace


[Chorus 1]
G             D              A              E
Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping hand
G             D       A
Everyone is everybody else
G             D               A              E
Everyone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a stand
D                G           C
God alone knows how we will survive
