            E
People are suffering, I'll say it again
            E
People are suffering, I'll say it again
            E
People are suffering, I'll say it again
    E
So remember when you're looking for trouble

That trouble is already busy with weaker men

People are hungry, I'll say it again

People are hungry, I'll say it again

So don't you abuse that body,
        D
it'll stop without assistance, my friends

Song goes on (I'll sing again until the music enervates)
 F
Song goes on (The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away)

This song goes on (Through centuries of history it reverberates)
 F
This song goes on (On curving comets track the music makes it way)

This song is so long it ends up where it be---gins

People are lonely, I'll say it again
    E
So don't let 'em run too far from home

You'll be alone for sure, on that you can depend
