	Intro 
	Principal Key: E Minor 
Synthesizer Only: Dsus4, Em, Am, C, Em, G, Em (hold) 

Other Instruments: Em (7 bars) to C (2 bars) to Em (8 bars) 

	Verse 1 
	Principal Key: E Minor 
Em 
    I've been now sauntering 
    Out and down the path sometime 
    Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew 
    Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things 
    Telling me not there, man, it's no go 
    Don't go there boy 

    I need a reason 
    I can't think without one now 
    Too much learning got to show 
    Call it treason 
    Maybe catch her, don't know how 
                                                              C       D      Em      C       D     Em 
    Too many things, too much to know 

    I’ll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind 
    Lady screaming, lady leave me out 
   'Cause sometimes people stare 
    Sitting down, electric chairs 
    And steaming crowds they gather and they shout 

    Don't know why this evil bothers me 
    Take another chance boy, carry the fight,  
    You can take him if you're fast 
    So why is he trying to follow me? 
    Didn't I say if you're holding on  
    You'd be laughing at the last 
    How many reasons do they need? 
    I get along fine with them friends of mine  
    But you have to make a choice 
    I might just believe this time 
   You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time  
   And it's us who makes the noise 

Chorus 
	Principal Key: E Minor 
D                         C                Am 
    I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, 
            G  
    It's a new religion 
D                             C                Am 
    I've something to see, I can't help myself,  
             G 
    It's a new religion 

	Verse 2 (chords the same as other verses) 
	Principal Key: E Minor 
Em 
    Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun 
    But someone sees the departmental lie 
    You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife 
    Only get one look before you die 

Don't know why this evil bothers me 
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,  
You can take him if you're fast 
So why is he trying to follow me? 
Didn't I say if you're holding on  
You'd be laughing at the last 
How many reasons do they need? 
I get along fine with them friends of mine  
But you have to make a choice 
I might just believe this time 
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time 
 			              Em 
And it's us who makes the noise 

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,  
It's a new religion 
I've something to see, I can't help myself,  
It's a new religion 

	Bridge 
	Principal Key: E Minor 
Em (22 bars), D (7 7/8 bars), D#dim (1/8 bar) 


	Verse 3 (chords the same as other verses) 
	Principal Key: E Minor 

Em 
    Gotta take pay the saints 'n sinners  
    In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things 
    Walking in formation down the lane,  
    They carry their cross, make a church bell ring  
    Army majors pull a mean cool truth,  
    There lying in a swimming pool 
    Searching for the undeniable truth that  
    A man is just a fool 

    Don't know why this evil bothers me 
    Take another chance boy, carry the fight,  
    You can take him if you're fast 
    So why is he trying to follow me? 
    Didn't I say if you're holding on  
    You'd be laughing at the last 
    How many reasons do they need? 
    I get along fine with them friends of mine  
    But you have to make a choice 
    I might just believe this time 
    You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time 
			              Em 
And it's us who makes the noise
