WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE Written by John Fogerty Performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival Tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <[email protected]>

G / / / D / / / C / / / G / / C / / D / G / / C / / D / Met myself a common county welfare line I was a-feelin' strung out, hung out on the line Saw myself a-goin' down to the war in June All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune

Chorus

Wrote a song for everyone Wrote a song for truth Wrote a song for everyone-- When I couldn't even talk to you

Verse

Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication fails If you see the answer, now's the time to say All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray

(chorus)

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

(chorus)

Verse

Saw the people standin' a thousand years in chains Somebody said it's a-different now; look, it's just the same Pharaohs spin the message round and round the truth They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?

(repeat chorus 3 times; third time, with extra measure and instrumental Break, sing "cou-ou-ou-ou-ouldn't")
