Edit By: 216.73.216.233

Pre>
G			   b7	em	 e7
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 	 e7
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
A	 a7	  d
And nobody seems to care.

B7		 em
Now dont tell me your troubles,
A	   d    g
No I dont have the time to spare.
B7		 em	  e7
But if you want to get together and fight
A	    d    g
Good buddy thats what I want to hear.

And you tell me that your job was taken away
By a big ol greasy machine.
And you tell me that you dont collect no more pay
And your belly is growing lean.

Now if I had the jobs to give
You know Id give them all away.
But dont waste your breath calling out my name
If you dont have nothing to say.

And you tell me that you dont have nothing to do
And you keep on wasting your time.
And you say when you want to get your family some food
You gotta stand in a relief line.

Now its a sin and a bloody shame
bout the way theyre pushing you round.
But when you decide not to take no more
You know Ill put my money down.

cause Ive seen your kind many times before
And Ill see em many times again.
Oh but every bad thing thats happened to you
Has happened to better men.

So dont explain that youve lost your way
That youve got no place to go.
Youve got a hand and a voice and youre not alone
Brother thats all you need to know.

And if youre still wondering what Im trying to say
Let me tell you what its all about.
Now nobody listens to a single man
When hes walkin round down and out.

So if youre looking for an answer
Hes standing there by your side.
And youll never really know how far youll go
til you join together and try.

(repeat first six lines)
