Capo: 6 Tuning: E A D G B E
[Tabbed By Karl Hempton] This is a very basic version of the tab, as it is transcribed for standard tunring. It leaves out a lot of the riffs/licks that the guitar throws in. [Verse 1]
GHeavenly father could you hear the prayers I offer you today, some of the Bmpeople in the parish have been asking me to pray for them, they Chave no strength to help themselves, Cthey need help fending for themselves, and Dwe do all we can do but theres so little that we can do,
[Verse 2]
Gand this is the worst winter I know of even worse than last, the snow has sBmtayed for too long on the ground and for the second year around, now all Cacross our little Island we give all our sweat and toil and still the Dcrops they have all rotted in the soil,
[Pre-Chorus]
and all Amalong the Western seaboard they await with open hands for Dsomething to feed there children or a ship to foreign lands, but there's Amnothing here to give them except for chicken feed and sand, while DBritannia rules the roost with iron hands
[Chorus]
AmLord what can we do now, Amoh good Lord what can we do when we Dneed to feed so many and there's not even for the few, AmLord what can we do now, AmLord what can we do, they are Dstarving, they are freezing, N.Cand their clothes have all worn throAmugh
[Bridge] Am D Am D [Verse 3]
Heavenly Gfather your people need you more than ever now, it is such a Bmdesperate situation that the nation's in somehow, I can't see Cmany pulling through because even if we had the food to Dfeed them many have disease, DLord I hope you hear our pleas,
[Verse 4]
they are Gscattered by the roadside, Gin the towns and in the fields, and there is not Bmeven food to work for, nevermind beg, lend or steal, and if we Cgo by the predictions with starvation and eviction some two Dmillion will be dead before we're through,
[Pre-Chorus]
still all Amalong the western seaboard they await with open hands for Dsomething to feed their children or a ship to foreign lands, for there's Amnothing here to give them except for chicken feed and sand, while DBritannia rules the roost with iron hands
[Chorus]
AmLord what can we do now, Amoh good lord Lord what can we do, when we Dneed to feed so many but there's not even for the few, AmLord what can we do now, AmLord what can we do, they are Dstarving, N.C.they are freezing, N.C.and their clothes have all worn tAmhrough,
Am D [Outro]
Dthey have no one else Ambut you. Am D Am D
