Verse:
             F                Gm
Now when the ladies come from Kansas
     F                      Gm
They wear their traditional colors
F                     Dm
Today the fabrics are ragged and 
torn
    C                         Bb
The clothes on their backs is all 
that they own
          F                     Gm
They say, "Don't draw attention to 
yourself
        F                    Gm
They'll tear you apart for a couple 
of bucks
F                      Dm
Keep you head down and keep you nose
 clean
       C                      
'Cause people who're scared do 
 Bb
dangerous things"

           F             Gm
These days can't last forever
           F              Gm
These days can't last for long
         F       Gm
You know someday things'll get 
better
F                 Gm
Somehow things'll get done
       C               Bb         
In this World of Possibilities, 
      C             Bb
it's the Land of Opportunities

F           Bb  C          Bb
Building it up, tearing us down
         F           Bb           
With our head in the clouds and 
   C          Bb
our feet on the ground

We wanna live - dirty old town

These days shoes are worn only on 
Gm
special occasions
F                      Gm
Battles are fought for fam'ly and 
nations
F                      Dm
Maybe you'll pray, but God isn't 
home

And there's no guarantee that 
 Bb
justice be done
