Tabbed by:Trephinix

Tuning:EADGBE, Capo on 1st fret
note: he uses a lot of little fills, but they are easy to figure out when
you listen to the recording. The main ones are: on the G chord that ends
the chorus and every second line in the verse he plays something on the
low E string like: |-0--2--0-| and he plays an F# note between the G and Em
chords in the verse and chorus. Before the Final G in the outro he plays:
A--3--2--0-|

G D G Em
There is no time to discuss or debate
C D G
What is right, what is wrong for our people
G D G Em
Time has run out for all those who wait
C D G
With bent limbs and minds that are feeble
Chorus:
G Em C D
And the rain falls and blows through their window
G Em C D
And the snow falls and blows through their door
G Em C D
And the seasons revolve 'mid their sounds of starvation
G Em C G
When the tides rise, they cover the floor
G D G Em
And they come from the north and they come from the south
C D G
And they come from the hills and they valleys
G D G Em
And they're migrants and farmers and miners and humans
C D G
Our census neglected to tally
chorus
G D G Em
And they're African, Mexican, Caucasian, Indian
C D G
Hungry and hopeless Americans
G D G Em
The orphans of wealth and of adequate health
C D G
Disowned by this nation they live in
G D G Em
And with weather-worn hands On bread lines they stand
C D G
Yet but one more degradation
G D G Em
Yes, and they're treated like tramps While we sell them food stamps
C D G
This thriving and prosperous nation
Chorus
G D G Em
And with roaches and rickets and rats in the thickets
C D G
Infested, diseased, and decaying
G D G Em
With rags and no shoes and skin sores that ooze
C D G
By the poisonous pools they are playing
G D G Em
In shacks of two rooms that are rotting wood tombs
C D G
With corpses breathing inside them
G D G Em
Yes, and we pity their plight as they call in the night
C D G
And we do all that we can do to hide them
outro:
G Em C D
And the rain falls and blows through their window
G Em C D
And the snow falls in white drifts that fall
G Em C D
and the tides rise, with floods in the nursery
G Em
and a child is crying
C D
hes hungry and cold
C D
his life has been sold
C D
his young face looks old
C D G
its the face of america dying
