by Jim Pembroke. Album: Blues Section (1967)
     (4 x)  D   G   Gmaj7

     D                            G       Gmaj7
I've searched in the depths of my mind to find
    D                    G        Gmaj7
The answer to life is be kind not blind
D    Am7   D    Am7
Show love above all
         D             Am7        D
And your life won't be so hard no more


     (2 x)  D   G   Gmaj7


People may fight and make war and roar
The answer to life is make love, no war
Show love above all
And your life won't be so hard no more


   Dm              Em                        Dm
     I go with the gang called the Vegetable Men
                    Em                 Dm
     I smash up the hippies whenever I can
                    Em                            Dm
     They get on my nerves with their flowers and love
                   Em                A
     They sit in Soho while I'm in a pub
                   Amaj7             A7
     Eating minced tarts, playing my darts
                          F#m                         
     I see if there's any crumpet near
    E             G                    A
     I don't want nothing more than my beer
   Dm              Em                        Dm
     I go with the gang called the Vegetable Men
                    Em              Dm
     I like to kick cops whenever I can
                     Em                       Dm
     They say that I weren't too bright at my school
                       Em               A
     But if I can beat cops I can be no fool
                    Amaj7                      A7
     Breaking their bones, I'm chucking 'round stones
                          F#m
     I'm spreading 'round fear and hate
   E              G                    A
     I don't want nothing more than my beer
                    Amaj7                      A7
     Breaking their bones, I'm chucking 'round stones
                          F#m
     I'm spreading 'round fear and hate
   E              G                    D
     I don't want nothing more than my beer


(2 x)  D   G   Gmaj7


I searched...


     I go with...


     I'm breaking...  (repeat the end of the chorus)
