David Mallett - Ten men

^AmTen men in ^Amblack hats, got to^Amgether one ^Amnight. ^AmTime to get the ^Amwhole damn thing, ^Amwhile the gettin's ^Amright. ^AmTen men in ^Dmblack hats, in a ^Dmshack on the edge of ^Amtown. ^AmYou might think I'm ^Dmcrazy but, that's ^Fwhere the deal went ^Amdown. ^Am

^AmTen men with ^Ambig hands, and ^Ameye's full of ^Amblood. ^AmThey had to steal to ^Ammake that deal, in the ^Amdrizzle and the ^Ammud. ^AmThe air smelled like ^Dmkerosene, there was a ^Dmshotgun standing ^Amby. ^AmThe only light in the ^Dmwhole damn room, was a ^Fgleam in the ten men's ^Ameyes.^Am

^AmTen men in ^Amblack hats, on a ^Amcold, cold, ^Amnight, ^AmTen black cars ^Amidelin', in the ^Amglow of the red tail ^Amlights. ^AmTen men with ^Dmblack hearts, ^Dmcuttin' up the ^Amspoils, ^AmThe wind howled in the ^Dmtall tree, there was a ^Fpot begin to ^Amboil. ^{Am Am Am}

^AmOne man got the ^Amsilver, ^Amone got the ^Amgold, ^AmOne said I don't ^Amwant nothin', I just ^Amdon't ever want to grow ^Amold. ^AmOne man got the ^Dmwater, ^Dmthey said they got it every^Amwhere. ^AmOne said they get ^Dmall them messages, ^Fpeople send out ^Amthrough the air.

^AmThey divid up the ^Amgreen grass, they ^Amdivid up the ^Amsoil. ^AmOne got all the ^Amiron ore, and the ^Amother one got all the ^Amoil. ^AmOne said I get the ^Dmpeople, ^Dmthey all work for ^Amme. ^AmAnother his little ^Dmbrother said, I get ^Fall the fishes in the ^Amsea. ^Am

^AmTen men in ^Amblack hats, their ^Amfaces cold and ^Amhard. ^AmSaid this is good for ^Ameveryone, some^Ambody gotta take ^Amcharge. ^AmAnd then they all lit their ^Dmstogie's, and ^Dmtipped back in their ^Amchairs. ^AmTen men in ^Dmblack hats, are you ^Fsure you wasn't ^Amthere.^Am
