"Good Noise" - by John Gorka 1994 (from the CD "Out Of The Valley")

Standard tuning  Capo on 2nd fret


Intro:  E    B A E    B A (repeat)

CHORUS:
            E
Tell me the truth - what are you living for?

        A                E
Tell me why, why are you near?

            
'Cause if you cannot make yourself a good noise

             A           B     E       B A E     
Then tell me what you're doing here 


B  A      E
   Now we all got the hand for the gimme

               A
We all got the mouth for the much obliged

    E
But when it comes down to the giving back

            B                    A
We give the eye to the other guy

B      E
Oh, it seems that so much trouble

          A
Is simply caused by the angry word

         E
Although silence can be a virtue

             A          B           E
I say it's a good noise that's preferred


CHORUS

Now you've got every right and reason
To be down in the dumps today
Aren't you just adding to the problem
If you've got nothing good to say

Sure there are wars, disease, injustice
Rich men walking on your hands
But tell me how can you ever take a breath of hope
Talking down your fellow man

CHORUS, repeat
