Well, you don't know me,

Am Am 
 
I'm still here waiting for the trickle down
C C 
 
F F 
 
I work in the kitchen
Em Em 
 
Dm Dm 
 
of the diner where you eat
Em Em 
 
Well, you don't know me,
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
but I live on your street
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
I stay with my kind, you stay with yours
G G 
 
Your kind don't find time
Am Am 
 
for folks to sweep up the floors
C C 
 
F F 
 
But they must think I'm a rich man
Em Em 
 
down where the buses stop
Dm Dm 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
It's always most expensive
D D 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
where the poor people shy.
G G 
 
You say I gotta learn English,

So if I learn English,
Am Am 
 
will you stop and talk to me?
C C 
 
F F 
 
You splash right by me
Em Em 
 
while I'm walking in the

Am Am 
 
you'd like to see me flow back down the drain,
before I came
G G 
 
You might think it's peaceful,
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
the place where I'm from
G G 
 
We don't have a hospital,
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
and we don't carry guns

F F 
 
My daddy died of a knife wound

Dm Dm 
 
at the age of thirty -three
Em Em 
 
They buried him in the churchyard,
Dm Dm 
 
but they won't bury me

Interlude 1

Verse 2
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
I think we're different,
Am Am

G G 
 
We both make decisions,
Am Am 
 
we do what we gotta do
F F 
 
You're paying your mortgage
Em Em 
 
Dm Dm 
 
to buy your ivory tower
Em Em 
 
I somehow make my  rent
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
on 3   .50 an hour
G G 
 
And you say that slavery
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
has had its day
G G 
 
Well, I'm here to tell you
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
that it's here to stay
F F 
 
Without cheap labor
Em Em 
 
Dm Dm 
 
your empire would be sunk
Em Em 
 
The wealth of nations

Am Am 
 
only trickles up
F F 
 
The wealth of nations
E E 
 
always trickles up
Am Am 
 
A A 
 
Am Am
