Intro
A# C
[Verse 1]
Dm Gm Gm* A*
You’ve got no vision for the long run
C A# Bb* C*
You’ve got no sense of history
Dm Gm Gm* A*
You’ve got the world at your fingertips
C A# A*
And now you have it crumblin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm C
But if you look back far enough
F A#
And find the place you started
Gm C
Before you held a grudge
F D
Or the highest office
Gm C
You do nothing every year
F A#
But you're showin' up on the red carpet...
[Chorus]
Gm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Gm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
And it ain’t you
Bb* C*
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb* C* Gm
I said “Give it to me straight!” - (Things are crooked)
Gm* Dm* C Gm* Dm* A# Bb* C*
I said “Who’s sticking around?” - (For all the heavy lifting?)
Dm Bb* C*
You ain’t no robin hood -(No)
Gm Gm* Dm*
Never been in this neighbourhood -(No)
C A#
Thought you said this would be easy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gm C
But I can smell it on ya
F A#
You’re some aristocrat
Gm C
I said “It takes a village”
F D
And you can’t handle that
Gm C
Well I already know
F A#
How the history books will react
[Chorus]
Gm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)

I’m looking for the People’s Champ
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
And it ain’t you
[Bridge]
Dm
All my girls say
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
Dm
All my dudes go
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
[Verse 3]
Dm
Now here’s the official statement:
Dm/C
We’re street fighting on the pavement
Dm/A#
I’m going dancing like I’m raving
Dm/A
There’s no service in the basement
Dm/G
Now I don’t mean to sound impatient
Dm/F
But I’ve seen the flag you’re waving
Dm/E
And I can see through all this fake shit
Dm/A
This highest office’s sitting vacant
[Pre-Chorus 3]
GM C
But if you look back far enough
F A#
And find the place you started
Gm C
I promise you no charlatan
F D
Has ever died a martyr
Gm C
You do nothing every year
F A#
But showing up on the red carpet
[Chorus]
Gm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Gm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Dm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
Gm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
(O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
