Sounds of software

Melodie: zu "Sound of Silence" von Simon & Garfunkel
Text von Ronald _crash Lembcke

Am		G
Hello	Software my old	friend,

	Am
I've come to modify your source	again.

	C		F	C
Because a	bug	somewhere	hiding

	F	C
left its coredumps while I	was	sleeping,

	F		C
and the	vision	that was planted in my	brain

	Am
still	remains,

C		G		Am
within	the	sound	of free	software"

Am		G
In	restless dreames I walked	alown,

	Am
many bugs still on their	own,

	C	F	C
'neath the sign of	software	company	's

	F	C
I'd have to sign no-	disclose-	agrees,

	F		C	Am
when my	eyes	were enlighted by the flashes of free	software,

	C	G		Am
and	touched	the	source of the	software

Am		G
And	in the free software light I	saw,

	Am
Ten thousand people, maybe	more.

	C	F	C
People helping	with	their	skills,

	F		C
People helping to	make	it	work,

	F		C
People writing	source	and docu that was much	shared,

	Am
and many	helped,

	C		G	Am
to	make	the	freeee	software

Am		G
"Fools!"	said some, "you do not	know,

	Am
how to write software	probably.

	C	F	C
Bye our	great	software,

	F	C
with so many more great	features		",

	F		C	Am
but this	software	was so buggy and not	free...

	C	G		Am
but	still	many	bought	it.

Am		G
And	the people bowed and	prayed

	Am
to 'e big companies they	made,

	C		F		C
but 'ey	did	not	remove	their	bugs,

	F	C
released new versions with	new	ones,

	F		C
and the	compn'ys	said "Free software doesn't	work

	Am
and it's worse than our	own"

	C	G		Am
and	shouted	against	free	software
