G A D
[Verse]
D G D G
There's a drug dealer selling to your children everyday
D A
He's rotten evil, but he ain't nobody's fool
D G
He's dealin' death and livin' high
D G
Off your hard-earned pay,
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
[Chorus]
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
E E7 A7
Why should children, why should women be abused
G A D G
There's so precious few among us walking in the Savior's shoes
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
[Instrumental]
G A D
[Verse]
D G D G
We've got to stamp out hunger all around the planet Earth
D G A
We've got to be our weapons in the clouds
D G
We've got to ban these bombs I say,
D G
We've got to save our lives
A
We've got to do it all startin' now
[Chorus]
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
E E7 A7
Why the farmer and his crops we're saving too
G A D G
So every workin' stiff across this land won't have to lose
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
[Instrumental]
G A D
[Verse]
D G D G
The first Americans were the riskiest human beings
D A
They saved us all that first Thanksgiving Day
D G D G
Like the older folks behind, walkin' in the welfare line
G A
Their trail of tears grows longer by the way
[Chorus]
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
E E7 A7
Why should any human being be abused
G A D G
There's so precious few among us walking in the Savior's shoes
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues
