Verse:
Am Am   G   D             Am
        Yo, I'm like John Lennon
               G                 D

             Am                         G             D
   Somewhere everyone is welcome all my multicultural brethren
         Am                  G    D          Am
   Where hate is outdated, today, love's the word
                        G    D
   Even for people from Luxembourg
      Am                              G                D
   Or maybe like some other countries that you might ignore, Tonga
Am                        G      D
   Never thought of in my life before
            Am                           G           D
   But if I met a guy from Tonga then we stop and we speak
      Am                   G       D
   In fluent Tongalese on equality street, yep
     Am                 G               D
   Acceptance, see that Kenyan guy with mental eyes
Am                     G                D
   He might be totally normal you can't genralise
   Am                     G      D             Am
   Black people aren't crazy fat people aren't lazy
       G              D
   And dwarfes aren't babies
       Am                    G         D
   You can't just pick 'em up they got rights
       Am                      G                 D

             Am                              G            D

   Am                      G            D

   Am                G                 D
   One leg, no legs, long as you got a heart, hey
   Am                       G       D
   Transgender, gay, straight, lesbians
   Am                   G             D

   At the end of the street is a golden gate
