If I think she beautiful, well that's for sure
Give a little loving, but I still gon need some more, rob it
Stealing from the rich and then give it to the poor
Telling everbody it don't matter anymore, she said
All I really needed was a friend like you
Help me through and together we can change, but
If I was to stay it wasn't for too long
People sing the same song everywhere I'm going
Closer to the sun and far from the moon
People screaming out they gonna see me real soon, they say oooo
If I think she beautiful, well that's for sure
Give a little loving, but I still gon need some more, rob it

Help me through and together we can change, but

That last part sounds more complicated on the album than it really is. Listen to the
unplugged version. And again, improv and add in youir own slides hammer-ons and pull-offs.
is the dumbed-down way of doing this song.

Give a little loving, but I still gon need some more, rob it
Stealing from the rich and then give it to the poor
