Em 
Power to the people (oh, hey, hey) 
Em 
Power to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh) 

Em 
I've been tired of this thinking (hey) 
Em 
so I've drowned it out with drinking (oh) 
Em 
Tastes like a bitter pill but I'll just wash it down 
Em 
With the taste of something sweet that some doctor gave me now 
Em 
And this is a madness 

I'm not giving in   Am 

Am                 C 
We're shining like diamonds 
                 G 
With fire in our bones 
            D                                               Am  C 
Standing be-side you I've a feeling that I'll never walk a-lone 

     G                  D                Am   C 
We're children of the universe, don't you know 
G                      D                     Am  C 
Dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own 
     G                  D 
Just children of the universe 

Em 
Power to the people (oh, hey, hey) 
Em 
Power to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh) 
Em 
Power to the people (oh, hey, hey) 

You know what we want and we've gotta get it now 

Em 
Something's stirring in the silence (hey, hey) 
Em 
And it reeks of passive violence (oh) 
Em 
Hold on tight this opportunity we'll take, put an end to all this suffering before it  
gets too late 
Em 
Hopes on the horizon 

I'm not giving in   Am   C 

G                        D               Am   C 
We're children of the universe don't you know 
G                      D                     Am   C 
Dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own 
     G                  D 
Just children of the universe 

Am                 C 
We're shining like diamonds 
                 G 
With love in our hearts 
                   D 
They said it's the end but I've a feeling 
                     Am 
It might just be the start 
         C                       G 
As I am awakened with fire in my bones 
                D 
Standing beside you I've a feeling that I'll never walk alone 

      Am                   C 
We're children of the uni, children of the uni, 
G                  D               Am    C 
Children of the universe don't you know 
     G                      D                     Am   C 
Yeah dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own 
              G                  D 
'Cause we are children of the universe
