Intro 1
(A major)
Verse 1
I woke up one (A major) morning
in the first light of day
I saw a woman
and I heard somebody say
She had a growl and a voice
She had papers in her hand
She said, I'm gonna sue you
Gonna take away your land
I ain't got no (A minor) money
I (A major) can't (A minor) keep my home
(A major) I can't afford no (A minor) doctor
I (A major) can't buy (A minor) no food
(A major) I got to pay this (A minor) lawyer
And Uncle Sam
(A major) Well, you rich folks (A minor) and your parties,
(A major) where have you been?
Took my paycheck for social security
But now they're broke
and can't give it back to me
While the (A minor) fat cats are a (A major) -thrivin',
still rollin' in dough
But while the little boy's hurtin',
I'm walkin' down Skid Row
I ain't got no (A minor) money, I ain't got no home
(A major) I can't afford no doctor, no,
(A minor) I can't buy no food
(A major) I got to pay that (C major) tax (A minor) man,
(A major) and (A minor) all the sin
With (A major) all the (A minor) rich folks on vacation,
(A major) they don't give a damn
No, this ain't no new (A minor) deal (A major)
Hard (A minor) times (A major) are here again
Said in a hard time,
sure I'm here again
There's red lines of people,
good women and good men
Tell me, how could this happen,
what do you say?
Could someone be stealing
from a working man's pay?
I ain't got no (A minor) money, I ain't (A major) got no (A minor) home
(A major) I can't afford no (A minor) doctor,
(A major) I can't buy no food
I got to pay that (A minor) tax man
and Uncle Sam
(A major) With all your (A minor) rich folks on vacation,
they don't (A major) give a damn
Sit in a hard time for a hill, just like a war
We used to have some money,
but we don't have it no more
I'll walk a mile in your shoes,
till you walk a mile in mine
I'll meet you at the bottom,
on the bread line
I ain't got no (A minor) money, ain't (A major) got no (A minor) home
(A major) I can't afford no (A minor) doctor,
I can't buy (A major) no food,
I got to pay this (C major) lawyer (A minor) ,
and I'm concerned. (A major)
For you (A minor) rich folks with a party,
where (A major) have you been?
Meet you at the bottom.
All my friends are broke.
They got no money
Me too at the bottom
On (A minor) the red line
