G B7 Em
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
A D G
And you say that your pockets are bare
G B7 Em
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
A A7 D
And nobody seems to care
B7 Em
Now don't tell me your troubles
A A7 D
No, I don't have the time to spare
G B7 Em
But if you want to get together and fight
A D G
Good buddy that's what I want to hear
[Verse]
G B7 Em
And you tell me that your job was taken away
A D G
By a big ol' greasy machine
G B7 Em
And you tell me that you don't collect no more pay
A A7 D
And your belly is growing lean
B7 Em
Now if I had the jobs to give
A A7 D
You know I'd give them all away
G B7 Em
But don't waste your breath calling out my name
A D G
If you don't have nothing to say
G B7 Em
And you tell me that you don't have nothing to do
A D G
And you keep on wasting your time
G B7 Em
And you say when you want to get your family some food
A A7 D
You gotta stand in a relief line
B7 Em
Now it's a sin and a bloody shame
A A7 D
'Bout the way they're pushing you 'round
G B7 Em
But when you decide not to take no more
A D G
You know I'll put my money down
G B7 Em
'Cause I've seen your kind many times before
A D G
And I'll see 'em many times again
G B7 Em
Oh, but every bad thing that's happened to you
A A7 D
Has happened to better men
B7 Em
So don't explain that you've lost your way
A A7 D
That you've got no place to go
G B7 Em
You've got a hand and a voice and you're not alone
A D G
Brother that's all you need to know
G B7 Em
And if you're still wondering what I'm trying to say
A D G
Let me tell you what it's all about
G B7 Em
Now nobody listens to a single man
A A7 D
When he's walkin' 'round down and out
B7 Em
So if you're looking for an answer
A A7 D
He's standing there by your side
G B7 Em
And you'll never really know how far you'll go
A D G
'Til you join together and try
[Chorus]
G B7 Em
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
A D G
And you say that your pockets are bare
G B7 Em
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
A A7 D
And nobody seems to care
B7 Em
Now don't tell me your troubles
A A7 D
No, I don't have the time to spare
G B7 Em
But if you want to get together and fight
A D G
Good buddy that's what I want to hear
