Bread For The Body

A

[VERSE]

   A                          G   
I built my own chains in the land 
         A
of the free
                             B     
A slave to a job that meant nothing
     E
 to me
             A                 
With three shiny new cars and a 
    G         A
split level home
                           G       
To furnish the tomb I was dying to 
A
own

     D
Then one day I wakened with fear in 
my eye
  A                                
Aware of a world that was passing 
   E
me by
        A                      G  
And I knew that my savings of 
        A
silver and gold
                                G  
Would mean not a thing when my body
      A
 was cold

[CHORUS]

         A                      D 
Because life is a song for the 
       A
dying to sing
                             B  
It's got to have feeling to mean 
      E
anything
       A                      D   
And a man can get by without 
      A
silver or gold
                             G     
With bread for the body and song 
       A
for the soul

A G x3

[VERSE]

     A                     G      
I'm living my life by the lessons 
       A
I've learned
                              B    
And not looking back at the bridges
       E
 I've burned
            A                      
'Cause the time that we travel from
   G         A
 cradle to grave
                                G  
Was meant to be spent and not meant
        A
 to be saved

        D
And I know there are some who will 
say I'm a fool
       A                       
But I don't give a damn for the 
              E
people that do
           A                     G
'Cause if down in a dungeon is 
           A
where they belong
Well, that's their misfortune and 
 G         A
none of my own

[CHORUS]

         A                      D 
Because life is a song for the 
       A
dying to sing
                             B  
It's got to have feeling to mean 
      E
anything
       A                      D   
And a man can get by without 
      A
silver or gold
                             G     
With bread for the body and song 
       A
for the soul
