Intro: Dm


Verse 1:

    Gm7        C               Dm
My father he rides with your sheriffs
      Gm7            Bb         C
And I know he would never mean harm
        F        Bb          C
But to see both sides of a quarrel
        Gm7                  Dm
Is to judge without hate or alarm


Chorus:

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go



Verse 2:

     Gm7          C           Dm    
You take away homes from the homeless
     Gm7           Bb         C        
And leave them to die in the cold
     F         Bb              C
The gypsy who begged for your presents
         Gm7                           Dm
He will laugh in your face when you're old


Chorus:

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go


Verse 3:

      Gm7          C             Dm
Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
  Gm7        Bb           C  
Another he drinks up his wine
              F               Bb       C   
And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
     Gm7                  Dm
For those of a different kind


Chorus:

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go



Verse 4:

          Gm7          C           Dm
When the rivers run thicker than trouble
         Gm7          Bb           C
I'll be there at your side in the flood
        F          Bb     C
It was all I could do to keep myself
      Gm7                Dm
From taking revenge of blood



Chorus:

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go
 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go
