Tom: D
A* A* D A*
A* A D
[Verse 1]
A* A*
Around the table sat the people
A D A*
Some were eating some were starving for
D
There was never quite enough
G A* A D G
For each to have a share
[Verse 2]
A* A
Every day there was a murder
A* A*
Or a knifing with someone shouting
D A*
"Get your hands off you bastard
A* A
That's my food you're eating"
D A*
"That's nothing, nothing son, son, son", blamed the blackguard
D G A* A D G A* A
Women didn't even get a ruping
[Chorus]
G D G A*
Every day an insane scramble just to get enough
G D G A*
They would rather kill someone than let somebody get too much
[Instrumental]
A* A A* A* D A
[Verse 3]
A A*
There was much din and they argued
D
About the meaning of these things
A* D G
Some said the pittance should be shared out equally
A* A
But some of them said it proved man was evil
D G A* A
As they tucked into their enormous share
[Chorus]
G D G A*
But the wisest of them said: "till there's enough to go around
G D G A*
The men's scramble will continue fight to bring the system down"
