Tuning:EADGBE, Capo on 1st fret
note: he uses a lot of little fills, but they are easy to figure out when
you listen to the recording. The main ones are: on the G chord that ends
the chorus and every second line in the verse he plays something on the
low E string like: |-0--2--0-| and he plays an F# note between the G and Em
chords in the verse and chorus. Before the Final G in the outro he plays:
A--3--2--0-|

F G F Am
There is no time to discuss or debate
F G F
What is right, what is wrong for our people
F G F Am
Time has run out for all those who wait
F G F
With bent limbs and minds that are feeble
Chorus:
F Am F G
And the rain falls and blows through their window
F Am F G
And the snow falls and blows through their door
F Am F G
And the seasons revolve 'mid their sounds of starvation
F Am F F
When the tides rise, they cover the floor
F G F Am
And they come from the north and they come from the south
F G F
And they come from the hills and they valleys
F G F Am
And they're migrants and farmers and miners and humans
F G F
Our census neglected to tally
chorus
F G F Am
And they're African, Mexican, Caucasian, Indian
F G F
Hungry and hopeless Americans
F G F Am
The orphans of wealth and of adequate health
F G F
Disowned by this nation they live in
F G F Am
And with weather-worn hands On bread lines they stand
F G F
Yet but one more degradation
F G F Am
Yes, and they're treated like tramps While we sell them food stamps
F G F
This thriving and prosperous nation
Chorus
F G F Am
And with roaches and rickets and rats in the thickets
F G F
Infested, diseased, and decaying
F G F Am
With rags and no shoes and skin sores that ooze
F G F
By the poisonous pools they are playing
F G F Am
In shacks of two rooms that are rotting wood tombs
F G F
With corpses breathing inside them
F G F Am
Yes, and we pity their plight as they call in the night
F G F
And we do all that we can do to hide them
outro:
F Am F G
And the rain falls and blows through their window
F Am F G
And the snow falls in white drifts that fall
F Am F G
and the tides rise, with floods in the nursery
F Am
and a child is crying
F G
hes hungry and cold
F G
his life has been sold
F G
his young face looks old
F G F
its the face of america dying
