E       B                E                   A     E
Let's drink to the hard working people

Raise your glass to the good and the evil

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier

Spare a thought for his back breaking work

Say a prayer for his wife and his children
         B                                  E              A
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

       C#m                   G#m
And when I search a faceless crowd
    C#m                  G#m
A swirling mass of gray and

Black and white

Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

Spare a thought for the stay at-home voter

His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
E         B                   E                A   E
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
                   B              E   A
A choice of cancer or polio

E  A  E  (3x)

Let's drink to the salt of the earth
