Billy Bragg and Wilco - The unwelcome guest

To the r^Cich man's bright ^Amlodges I r^Fide in this ^Cwind On my go^Cod horse I c^Amall you my sh^Diny Black Be^Gss To the ^Cplayhouse of fort^Amune to t^Fake the bright si^Clver And g^Cold you have t^Amaken from so^Fmebody e^Clse

A^Cs we go ^Amriding in the d^Famp foggy mi^Cdnight You snor^Ct, my good p^Amony, and you g^Dive me your ^Gbest For you ^Cknow, and I k^Amnow, good ^Fhorse,'mongst the ri^Cch ones How ofti^Cmes we g^Amo there an u^Fnwelcome g^Cuest

I've nev^Cer took f^Amood from the ^Fwidows and o^Crphans And n^Cever a h^Amard working m^Dan I oppres^Gsed So take ^Cyour pace e^Amasy, for h^Fome soon like lig^Chtning We soon ^Cwill be r^Amiding, my ^Fshiny Black ^CBess

No ^Cfat rich man's po^Amny can e'e^Fr overtake y^Cou And ther^Ce's not a r^Amider from the ea^Dst to the we^Gst Could ho^Cld you a l^Amight in this dar^Fk mist and m^Cidnight When the^C potbellied t^Amhieves chase their ^Funwelcome gu^Cest

I don't ^Cknow, good ho^Amrse,as we t^Frot in this d^Cark here if robbi^Cng the r^Amich is for w^Dorse or for ^Gbest They tak^Ce it by st^Amealing and l^Fying and g^Cambling And ^CI take it ^Ammy way, my s^Fhiny Black B^Cess

I treat ^Chorses ^Amgood and I'm f^Friendly to s^Ctrangers I ride a^Cnd your ru^Amnning makes my ^Dguns talk the b^Gest And the ^Crangers and ^Amdeputies are hi^Fred by the r^Cich man To catch^C me and h^Amang me, my s^Fhining Black ^CBess

Yes, the^Cy'll catch me nap^Amping one d^Fay and they'^Cll kill me And then^C I'll be ^Amgone but that w^Don't be my e^Gnd For my g^Cuns and my s^Amaddle will a^Flways be ^Cfilled By unwel^Ccome t^Amravelers and o^Fther brave m^Cen

And they^C'll take the ^Ammoney and ^Fspread it out ^Cequal Just lik^Ce the B^Amible and the p^Drophets su^Gggest But the ^Cmen that go ^Amriding to ^Fhelp these poor ^Cworkers The rich^C will cut d^Amown like an u^Fnwelcome g^Cuest
