An Address To The Better Off

E*        D*        E*        D*

[Verse 1]

E*                              
As you - no doubt heard by now, 
D*
times are hard
  E*                          D*
Industry  - once fighting fit needs 
to die
    E*                           D*
The state - can't spare the cash now
   E*                            
It used to - as you have heard by 
     D*
now times are hard

[Chorus]

    E
And so
      A
I'm asking
    E          A
The better off who
    E
Who rose
        A
Through hard work
   E             A
To share our farewell
         E
With the poor

[Verse 2]

E*                  D*
    I'm speaking of charity

   E*                     D*
As useful - in a hospital as 
elsewhere
     E*                            
It's sad - but there will always be
 D*
 some
    E*                       D*
The poor - who are unable to pay 
                            E
through no fault of their own

[Chorus]

         A
So - I'm asking
    E          A
The better off to
   E           A
To donate some money
   E            A
To sponsor a little
      E
Oh, I pray

[Verse 3]

     E5                            
Just think - of all of those who 
  D5
are poor
     E5                           
Just think  - of all of those who 
D5
can't afford
     E5       D5
Some new - kidneys
   E5         D5
Or some - new hips

[Chorus]

              E
Just think of them
         A
So - I'm asking
    E          A
The better off to
   E           A
To donate some money
   E            A
To sponsor a little
    E
And so
      A     Amaj7
I'm asking
    E           A         Amaj7
The better off among you
   E           A      Amaj7
To donate some money
   E            A    Amaj7
To sponsor a little
      E
Oh, I pray
