[Verse]
       F         C          A#
He was born and raised in privilege
     F      C      A#
Took everything it gave
      F        C             A#
Had financial help from his father
           F     C       A#
From the cradle to the grave


[Chorus]
           F      C         A#
And this enabled him to believe in the things
    F       C         A#               F          C         A#
He did try hard, God forbid he should give in to pointless wandering
F              C          Csus4    C
 But he would wander from time to time


[Verse]
          F        C       A#       F       C         A#
Seeking guidance from the Holy he tried to find the truth
           F       C    A#
Among the radical revo-lutionaries
     F   C         A#
Who canonized his youth


[Chorus]
     F           C               A#
And gathering strength from the feeling that
      F            C          A#
To believe could undoubtable change the world
            F      C    A#
Turned his back on edu-cation
     F        C      F    C    A#
And listened to the word


[Instrumental]
|F   C   A#  |F   C   A#  |F   C   A#  |


[Verse]
         F            C         A#
So with little or no formal education
    F         C       A#
He taught himself to work
      F        C       A#
Would often steal the pain it took
    F        C       A#
To rise up from the dirt
    F       C    A#
And out of desperation would
    F        C     A#
Disturb the millionaires
       F    C        A#
Whose patronage had helped the power
 F        C       A#
Rise up from thin air


[Bridge]
A#             Am           A#     Am
 Then he sunk back into despair


[Instrumental]

[Verse]
 F
Take me out in another world
         C         A#
Keep me warm and dry
      F      C       A#
Where other men are worrying
    F      C        A#
And other men must die
     F        C         A#
And when the lies are spoken
        F       C      A#
Give endurance to the weak
             F           C       A#
And when the heart of a man is broken
          F     C    A#
Give the power to believe
