Gimme Some Truth

John Lennon


Tom: G

D                      F#m                 D7
I'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight, short-sighted narrow-minded hypocritics
G                   A
All I want is the truth
G                 A
Just gimme some truth

D                     F#m               D7
I've had enough of reading things by neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
G                   A
All I want is the truth
G                   A
Just gimme some truth

C
No short-haired yellow-bellied son of Tricky Dicky's gonna mother hubbard
                                       Bb
soft-soap me with just a pocketful of hope
           F               G
Money for dope, money for rope
