horizon\r\n[tab]   [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nAs you drive glittering highways[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd beaten-up by-ways\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThat straddle and girdle[/tab]\r\n\r\nA great and many-faced nation\r\n[tab] [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nYou see lambs in the ghettos[/tab]\r\n\r\nWho worship their Gepettos\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBelieving in, though never seeing[/tab]\r\n\r\nThe strings they think bind them\r\n[tab]  [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nSo you write to our congressmen[/tab]\r\n\r\nWith bleeding pens\r\n[tab][ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nOf the sorrow within[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd in return they just send\r\n[tab]
