Dear Mr. Man
E              D#
We don't understand
G#m                  F#
Why poor people keep struggling

But you don't lend a helping hand

     E                 D#
That working round the clock
G#m   F#       E                
Would buy me a big house in the 
D#    G#m
'hood
G#m            F#     E         
With cigarette ads on every 
      D#
block

[Verse 5]
G#m     F#   E                  D#
Who told me Mr. Man

Things just got to get better
       D#

G#m     F#    E             D#  
Dear Mr. Man, we don't

E                          D#
Same song with a different name
G#m                 F#
