There was a man
Verse 1

in the jungle
C
Trying to make ends meet
F
Found himself one day with

an axe in his hand
F
When a voice said "Buddy
can you spare that tree
C
F
We gotta save this world-
Bb
starting with your land."

F
It was a rock 'n' roll
Bb
millionaire from the USA
C
F
Doing three to the gallon
Bb
C
in a big white car
F
And he sang and he sang 'till
Bb
C
he polluted the air
F
And he blew a lot of smoke
Bb
C
Gm
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."

Just another foot- soldier
Bb
C
in a stupid little war
F
Another sound- bite on the
Bb
C
American scene
F
Caught between the supplier

only dreaming of money
And the demand of the man

with the money

Who needs a little help to dream
So we starve all the teachers

And recruit more marines
