G                        B7        Em
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
        A             D           G
And you say that your pockets are bare
        G                 B7          Em
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
    A      A7       D
And nobody seems to care
    B7                 Em
Now don't tell me your troubles
      A              A7      D
No, I don't have the time to spare
           G       B7     Em
But if you want to get together and fight
     A                   D       G
Good buddy that's what I want to hear

[Verse]
        G                 B7      Em
And you tell me that your job was taken away
     A       D        G
By a big ol' greasy machine
        G                B7            Em
And you tell me that you don't collect no more pay
         A        A7      D
And your belly is growing lean
       B7        Em
Now if I had the jobs to give
             A         A7  D
You know I'd give them all away
    G                B7             Em
But don't waste your breath calling out my name
       A          D          G
If you don't have nothing to say
        G                B7         Em
And you tell me that you don't have nothing to do
        A       D            G
And you keep on wasting your time
        G            B7               Em
And you say when you want to get your family some food
         A           A7     D
You gotta stand in a relief line
    B7               Em
Now it's a sin and a bloody shame
          A           A7           D
'Bout the way they're pushing you 'round
         G     B7          Em
But when you decide not to take no more
              A      D     G
You know I'll put my money down
       G              B7        Em
'Cause I've seen your kind many times before
         A            D     G
And I'll see 'em many times again
        G         B7           Em
Oh, but every bad thing that's happened to you
    A           A7     D
Has happened to better men
   B7                        Em
So don't explain that you've lost your way
            A      A7       D
That you've got no place to go
             G          B7               Em
You've got a hand and a voice and you're not alone
        A              D       G
Brother that's all you need to know
             G                B7       Em
And if you're still wondering what I'm trying to say
       A                  D    G
Let me tell you what it's all about
    G      B7           Em
Now nobody listens to a single man
          A              A7       D
When he's walkin' 'round down and out
      B7                    Em
So if you're looking for an answer
     A              A7      D
He's standing there by your side
           G            B7       Em
And you'll never really know how far you'll go
         A    D            G
'Til you join together and try

[Chorus]
G                        B7        Em
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
        A             D           G
And you say that your pockets are bare
        G                 B7          Em
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
    A      A7       D
And nobody seems to care
    B7                 Em
Now don't tell me your troubles
      A              A7      D
No, I don't have the time to spare
           G       B7     Em
But if you want to get together and fight
     A                   D       G
Good buddy that's what I want to hear
