Judy Collins - Salt Of The Earth
[Intro]
G C G C G D
[Verse 1]
G D G C G
Let's drink to the hard working people
D G C
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
G D G C G
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
D G C
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
[Verse 2]
G D G C G
Say a prayer for the common foot-soldier
D G C
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
G D G C G
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
D G C
Who tend the fires and who still till the earth
[Chorus]
Em Bm
When I see this crowd of faceless
Em Bm Am
A swirling mass of black and grey and white
Bm
They look so real to me
C A7 D
But they look so much in pain___
[Verse 3]
G D G C G
Raise your glass to the hard working people
D G C
Let's drink to the uncounted dead
G D G C G
Let's think of the wavering millions
D G C
Who need leaders, but get gamblers instead
[Verse 4]
G D G C G
Spare a thought for the stay at-home voter
D G C
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
G D G C G
In a parading of grey suited grafters
D G C
A choice of cancer or polio
[Chorus]
Em Bm
When I see this crowd of faceless
Em Bm Am
A swirling mass of grey and black and white
Bm
They look so real to me
C A7 D
But they look so much in pain___
[Verse 5]
G D G C G
Let's drink to the hard working people
D G C
Let's think of the lowly of birth
G D G C G
Spare a thought for the rag-tagged people
D G C
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
[Verse 6]
G D G C G
Let's drink to the hard working people
D G C
Let's think of the lowly of birth
G D G C G
Spare a thought for the rag-tagged people
D G C
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
