There was a man
Verse 1
E
in the jungle
B
Trying to make ends meet
E
Found himself one day with
A
B
an axe in his hand
E
When a voice said "Buddy
can you spare that tree
B
E
We gotta save this world-
A
starting with your land."
B
E
It was a rock 'n' roll
A
millionaire from the USA
B
E
Doing three to the gallon
A
B
in a big white car
E
And he sang and he sang 'till
A
B
he polluted the air
E
And he blew a lot of smoke
A
B
F#m
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
are coming down
Between the west and the east

There was a kid in the city

selling crack to get by
E

Got caught one day with a gun in his hand
B

When a voice said, "OK,
A

get'em up in the air
B
E
You're too young to live like this
A
B
But you ain't too fast to die."
A
B
E
Just another foot- soldier
A
B
in a stupid little war
E
Another sound- bite on the
A
B
American scene
E
Caught between the supplier
A
B
only dreaming of money
And the demand of the man
E
with the money
A
B
F#m
Who needs a little help to dream
So we starve all the teachers
E
And recruit more marines

You don't have to be a hippie to believe
in love
