Verse 1
don't you worry ahead
corn they need
change their ways
G
A
He'll be betrayed
A
F#m
Like a secret book that must not be read
G
Em
By a people who are never
to be taught to read
D
A
is the only book they need
E
Em
will die by the sword
his highest field,
he was sleeping on the hill
I've seen their lap,
They were making their camp,
they're hiding
D
Em
Where the dry river runs,
A
F#m
the soldiers took their time
G
Em
He could not breathe or climb,
F#m
D
A
they ringed him with their guns
school where he was shot
A
Bm
The poor man, who could not read,
G
A
might read in blood.
D
Em
Mother, mother, see your son,
A
F#m
what do his wounds say?
G
Em
Only he should not have gone,
D
A
not have gone to play,
out beyond the town,
A
Bm
Till the bullet that he sewed grew up
G
A
in a thousand guns to cut him down.
that would have been read and read
F#m
D
Because time to grow
B
Bm
But where could he have found rest?
As a writer in the East
Bm
G
Tortured till he confessed
A
D
But those who live by the word
Em
G
Here in the easy west
Where he could have lived at least
Out beyond the street we know
Out beyond the town
A
Bm
Till the bullets that he so grew up in
G
A
D
Em
A thousand guns to cut him down
D
Em
And the rich man's mind,
A
F#m
who when he does not give
G
Em
To let the poor man live,
F#m
D
A
will turn and see behind
a man not pure or good,
G
pays
you
