Verse 1
(D major) Open your (G major) hearts and (D major) your purses
to a man (G major) that is misunderstood. (D major)
He takes (F sharp minor) all of your kicks
and (B minor) your curses,
yet he (E major) wishes you nothing but (A major) good.
He tear (D major) fully (G major) begs you to (D major) show him
You (G major) think he's a man, (G minor) not (D major) a louse
So remember the debt that (A major) you owe him
The (E major) landlord who rents you his (A major) house
Did (D major) he, the (G major) downtrod (D major) den landlord,
An (G major) d his back that's all
a -burdene (D major) d and bent?
Respect his grey (A major) hairs,
don't ask for repairs,
(D major) And don't (E major) be be (A major) hind in (D major) the rent.
When the thunderclouds
(G major) gather and (D major) darken,
You may (G major) sleep undisturbed (G minor) in your (D major) bed,
(F sharp minor) But the landlord must sit up and hearken, (B minor)
(E major) An d wonder, and worry, and dread.
(A major) If you're (D major) killed,
then you'll die (G major) in (D major) a hurry,
And (G major) you never will (G minor) know (D major) your bad luck.
But the landlord must wake
up and (A major) worry,
Has one (E major) of my houses been struck? (A major)
Pity (D major) the (G major) downtrod (D major) den landlord,
And his back (G major) that's all
burdened (D major) and bent.
(F sharp minor) Re (D major) spect his grey (A major) hairs,
don't ask for (D major) repairs,
And don't (E major) be be (A major) hind in the (D major) rent.
When a landlord resorts (G major) to (D major) eviction,
Don't (G major) think that he does (D major) it for spite.
He (F sharp minor) is acting on deepest conviction,
(B minor) And (E major) what's right,
after all, is what's (A major) right.
I see (D major) that your (G major) hearts are (D major) all hardened,
And that (G major) I have been appealing (G minor) in (D major) vain.
Still I hope my last plea (A major) will be pardoned,
As I (E major) beg on my knees once (A major) again.
Pity (D major) the (G major) downtrod (D major) den landlord,
And his back (G major) that's all
burdene (D major) d and bent.
Respect his grey (A major) hairs,
(E major) don't ask for re (D major) pairs,
And (G major) don't (A major) leave behind
another rent. (D major) (G major) you
