Intro:   Em    Bm    Amrepeated
GGod of the rich man ain't the CGod of the poor.
GGod's men and the state Chospitals closed, and doDn't you know
CWinos and oCffice girls in the Gpark.
OGne of you longed to Cwalk beside her,
OGne of you longed to lCive beside her, it was moDrning,
CBetter roads with light on thGem.
Chorus:
CCan your diamonds tGalk to you, cCan you see them sGhine.
CKeep them hiding in Gyour room, Fcan they guide you iGn your time.
Verse 2
Windows were broken by the dear one's hand,
Gates left swinging by your dear one's hand, an old book salesman
asked if he could step in.
The sidewalks you slept on held no rest.  You gave away the money you'd saved
in your trust, you're sorry now.  Life hits you funny at a time.
Chorus:
Bridge:  (Sung over intro chords)
The sidewalks, you slept on, they're so broken.
I'll meet you there.
Verse 3
Years before the tears would start to roll, You walked outside, ran back in
your room, what did you hope for, I turned the corner while you slept.
God of the rich man ain't the God of the poor.  God's men and the state
hsopitals closed, and don't you know,  Winos and office girls ion the park.
Chorus:
The walk up lick is played on the D string, it's chromatic starting with the
open D.  During the verse hammer on the D on the B string when playing the C
chords.
