Intro: E    B*           E              A*A**     E


       E    B*           E              A*E
Verse: lets drink to the hard working people
       lets drink to the lowly of birth
       raise your glass to the good and the evil
       lets drink to the salt of the earth

       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
       who burn the fires and who still till the earth


Break: E A* E A* E A* E

       C#m                 G#m
       and when i search a faceless crowd
       C#m                G#m
       a swirling mass of gray and
       F#m
       black and white
       G#m
       they don't look real to me
       A                     B
       in fact, they look so strange


Verse: raise your glass to the hard working people
       lets drink to the uncounted heads
       lets think of the wandering millions
       who need leaders but get gamblers instead

       spare a thought for the stay at home voter
       his empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
       and a parade of the gray suited grafters
       a choice of cancer or polio


Break: E A* E A* E A* E

       C#m                 G#m
       and when i search a faceless crowd
       C#m                G#m
       a swirling mass of gray and
       F#m
       black and white
       G#m
       they don't look real to me
       A                     B
       in fact, they look so strange


Verse: lets drink to the hard working people
       lets think of the lowly of birth
       spare a thought for the rag taggy people
       lets drink to the salt of the earth

       lets drink to the hard working people
       lets drink to the salt of the earth
       lets think of the two thousand million
       lets think of the humble of birth


                         low       high
