Esus4 E Em7 Am
Come to the din-ner gong
Em/A A7 Dm7
The ta-ble is lad-en high
D C/D
Fat bel-lies and hun-gry little ones
F A E/A E
Tuck your napkins in and take your share
Esus4 E Em7
Some get the gra-vy
Am Em/A A7
And some get the gris-tle
Dm7 D C/D
Some get the mar-row bone
F
And some get noth- ing
A E/A E Esus4
Though there’s plen-ty to spare
Em/A Am Em/A Am Em/A
I took my share down by the sea
Am Em/A Am Em/A Esus4
Pa-per plates and Ja- -vex bottles on the tide
E D/E
Em7sus4
Seagulls come down and they squawk at me
E Esus4E7sus4D/EF Cmaj7F F F#mB Bm7
[/ – 3x] /
Down where the wa- - - ter ski- ers glide
Esus4 E Em7 Am
Some turn to Je-sus
Em/A A7
And some turn to her-o-in
Dm7 D C/D
Some turn to ramb-ling ‘round
F
Looking for a clean sky
A E/A E
And a drink-ing stream
Esus4 E Em7 Am
Some watch the paint peel off
Em/A A7
Some watch their kids grow up
Dm7 D C/D
Some watch their stocks and bonds
F A E/A E Esus4
Waiting for that big deal A-mer-i- -can dream
Em/A Am Em/A Am Em/A
I took my dream down by the sea
Am Em/A Am Em/A
Yan-kee yachts and lob- ster pots
Esus4 E
And sunshine and logs and sails
D/E
Em7sus4
And Shell Oil pails
E Esus4 D/E
Dogs and tugs and sum- mer-time
F
Back in the ban-quet line
Cmaj7F F#mB

An- - -gry young people cry- ing
Esus4 E Em7 Am
“Who let the greed-y in
Em/A A7
And who left the need-y out?
Dm7 D C/D
Who made this salt-y
F
Tell ‘em we’re very hungry now
A E/A E
For a sweet-er fare”
In the cookie I read,
Esus4 E Em7
“Some get the gra-vy
