The Kinks - Introduction to a Solution: chords

           E				
While the rich get their kicks with
      D
their affluent antics
      C             D             E
Mr. Black sits and ponders their fate.
         E                        D
He just sits in the gloom of his dimly-lit room
         C            D          E
Waiting for them to swallow the bait.

While the rich run their rackets he sits
in his attic
And casually clocks their defeat.
While the politicians cover up mistakes
that they've made
And all the promises, the lies and deceits.

   A                      D/A
A military coup has been long overdue.
             A            D              A
Now there's fighting and panic in the streets.
          E                   D
Amid the mass disillusion, disorder and confusion,
         C             D          E
He will rise now his plan is complete.

B                   E
But mee, I'm only standing here

 C           D     E           C          D
Watching it all go on and I'm watching it all go
  E
wrong
And it's painfully clear that the battle is near
And I wish I could just disappear.

While Flash and his men drink champagne in
their den
And debase life with crude ostentation,
The poor cry for more, but they're reaching
the point
Where the people can't stand any more.

But me, I'm only standing here
Watching it all go on, and I'm watching it
all go wrong
And it's painfully clear that the battle is near
And I wish I could just disappear.
