There was a man
Verse 1
C
in the jungle
G
Trying to make ends meet
C
Found himself one day with
F

an axe in his hand
C
When a voice said "Buddy
can you spare that tree
G
C
We gotta save this world-
F
starting with your land."
G
C
It was a rock 'n' roll
F
millionaire from the USA
G
C
Doing three to the gallon
F
G
in a big white car
C
And he sang and he sang 'till
F
G
he polluted the air
C
And he blew a lot of smoke
F
G
Dm
from a Cuban cigar
And the stars are looking down
Through a hole in the sky
And if they can see, they cry

And the walls

You're too young to live like this

But you ain't too fast to die."
F
G
C
Just another foot- soldier
F
G
in a stupid little war
C
Another sound- bite on the
F
G
American scene
C
Caught between the supplier
F
G
only dreaming of money
And the demand of the man
C
with the money
F
G
Dm
Who needs a little help to dream
So we starve all the teachers
C
And recruit more marines
