G E7 Am

This is how it was when he was still alive

[Verse 2]

Am Em

With a fire in his eye, he let out a cry, "Them crooks in federal hall

G Dm

The pricks on the hill don't care about you and me

Am Em

I'll vote for the man who gathers the parties and takes them out to sea

G E7 Am

To dump 'em in the ocean where the rest of the garbage goes

[Chorus]

C G F Am

I've taken time to think about it

The profiteers will raid the gold

They're fuckin' with our money son

They're fuckin' with our money son"

A man of the people and he'd be proud of me
