... G  G   F
    So you make a litle money
       G
off of sombody elses sweat
        F
so some people starve a little
      G
while  you got fat
              Am . . . Am . DD Am . . .
while you got fat


Am . DD       F
       So you  grind and grind
        G
and you push and shove
    F
and claim that those most worthy
     G
will get what they diserve
             Am . . . Am . DD Am . . .
what they diserve...

     .     .
Am . G     G  F
  It can't be true
   .     .
   G     G  F
It can't be true

  G     G    Am                   G
Because I've seen too many hungry faces
     Am                     G
I've seen too many with the likes of  you
            F . . . F . DD F . . . F .DD Am . . . Am . DD Am . . .
it can't be true

     .   .
Am . G   G   F
     For you everything has its price
         G
you give nothing away for free
   F
if silence were truly golden
  G
I guess no one could sleep
             Am . . . Am . DD Am . . .
no one could sleep

     .   .
Am . G   G    F
     You have money at your fingertips
               G
people at your beck and call
           F
and you're fool enough to think for a price
G                            Am . . . Am . DD Am . . .
 You can have the whole wide world

     .   .
Am . G   G   F
 For all our sakes
    .   .
    G   G   F
and all our lives
.  .
G  G    Am
We must hope the words that
G
come from your lips
        Am                   G
we must hope those words are lies
    .   .
    G   G   F
for all our sakes
    .   .
    G   G   F
and all our lives
.  .
G  G    Am
we must hope the dreams,
         G              
soulless visiones that you have
Am               G
    are never realized



F
 So you've got a big house
    G
you drive a fancy car
   Am
So what if your pockets are full
   G
if you have an empty heart
F
 You snap your fingers
    G
and all the waters part
   Am
So what if the people bow down
        G
if they show you no regard
F
   Your left hand
G
always watshes your right
   Am
So what if you trust in God
   G
if you can't sleep at night
F
  You think you've made it
                 G
You think you've got what everyone wants
   Am
So what if you're a big fat man
        D  (let ring)
with an empty little heart

.   .
G   G    F
Who has   made a litle money
       G
off of somebody else's sweat
F
 Who watched the people starve
G      
while you got fat
              Am . . . Am . DD
while you got fat
Am . . . Am . DD
    you got fat
Am . . . Am . DD Am (let ring)
    you got fat!!!
