So you can use this general sort of light picking idea to pluck over
these chords for the verse.  (Chords relative to capo on 4)

Em                      C
When the colour of the night
Em                         C
and all the smoke for one life
Am                       D5
gives way to shakey movements,          
                 Am
improvisational skills,
                         C
a forest of whispering speakers

let's swear that we will

(start strumming here)

Em            C
get with the times,
                      Em
in a current heath to stay
                      C
let's get friendship right

get life day-to-day
Am                        C
in the forget-yer-skates dream

full of countervailing woes
G                   D5
in diverse-as-ever scenes

proceeding on a need-to-know
C                      D5
in a face so full of meaning
C               D5    C
as to almost make it glow
                       D5          C
O' for a good life, we just might have to weaken

and find somewhere to go
G                   C
go somewhere we're needed
                    G
find somewhere to grow
                      C
grow somewhere we're needed.

Em [0 2 2 0 0 0]
C  [x 3 2 0 1 0]
Am [x 0 2 2 1 0]
D5 [x 0 0 2 3 x]
G  [3 2 0 0 3 3]
