Am C


[Verse 1]
G                                        C
The hungry man knows who's to blame, the city boys who know no shame
G                               C
Justify the things they do with ugly, callous attitude
G                                   C
Wind of change it howls outside and makes my pony terrified
G                                     C
Greensward in the dust and gloom lies dormant in the afternoon


[Chorus]
Am        G                D
A hungry man knows what it means
       Am              G               D
He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams
                  C           D
And it's all in a life's work
         C         Am G
All in a life's work

[Verse 2]
G                                    C
The suitcase left unopened where the ravaged huddled in despair
    G                                 C
Sit head in hands in dread pursuit of any lie that hints at truth
G                                   C
The common saviour, so it goes with hyped-up children in repose
    G                              C
And satisfaction that it cost, the lucky man, the taxman lost


[Chorus]
Am        G                D
A hungry man knows what it means
       Am              G               D
He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams
                  C           D
And it's all in a life's work
         C         Am
All in a life's work

[Verse 3]
G                                   C
Who knows where the river flows? It wanders on, and on it goes
G                                C
Who sees where the companies and lines of men fall to their knees?
G                                C
The country doctor rambles on in Dylan's dream where life is song
G                                    C
Many times you'd kneel and pray, the big battalions stay away


[Chorus]
Am        G                D
A hungry man knows what it means
       Am              G               D
He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams
                  C           D
And it's all in a life's work
         C         Am
All in a life's work
