Capo: 1

ORPHANS OF WEALTH - Don Mclean Tabbed by:Trephinix Email:trephinix@lavbit.com 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-| intro: e|-----------------3--------------------| B|-----------------3--------------------| G|-----------------0--------------------| D|-----------------0--------------------| A|--------0--2--3--2-----0--2--3--------| E|---3-------------3--------------------|

The^Gre is no ti^Dme to dis^Gcuss or ^Emdebate What is ri^Cght, what is wr^Dong for our peo^Gple Tim^Ge has run o^Dut for a^Gll those who w^Emait With bent ^Climbs and minds^D that are fee^Gble

Chorus:

^GAnd the rain fa^Emlls and blo^Cws through their wi^Dndow ^GAnd the snow fa^Emlls and blo^Cws through their do^Dor ^GAnd the seasons revo^Emlve 'mid th^Ceir sounds of starv^Dation ^GWhen the tides ^Emrise, they ^Ccover the f^Gloor

^GAnd they come from the no^Drth and th^Gey come from the s^Emouth And they ^Ccome from the h^Dills and they va^Glleys And they're mig^Grants and far^Dmers and min^Gers and hu^Emmans Our cen^Csus negle^Dcted to ta^Glly

chorus

And they're Af^Grican, Me^Dxican, Cauc^Gasian, Ind^Emian H^Cungry and hop^Deless Amer^Gicans ^GThe orphans of we^Dalth and of ade^Gquate he^Emalth D^Cisowned by this nat^Dion they l^Give in

And with we^Gather-worn ha^Dnds On brea^Gd lines they st^Emand ^CYet but one m^Dore degrad^Gation ^GYes, and they're treated like tra^Dmps While we s^Gell them food st^Emamps This thriv^Cing and prosp^Derous nati^Gon

Chorus

And with ro^Gaches and ric^Dkets and r^Gats in the thi^Emckets ^CInfested, dis^Deased, and deca^Gying With ra^Ggs and no sho^Des and skin^G sores that ^Emooze By the poi^Csonous po^Dols they are pl^Gaying

^GIn shacks ^Dof two rooms that^G are rotting woo^Emd tombs With cor^Cpses brea^Dthing inside th^Gem Yes, and we p^Gity their p^Dlight as they ^Gcall in the n^Emight And we do all^C that we can ^Ddo to hide them^G

outro:

^GAnd the rain f^Emalls and bl^Cows through their w^Dindow ^GAnd the snow fa^Emlls in whit^Ce drifts that fall ^D ^Gand the tides r^Emise, with f^Cloods in the nurser^Dy ^Gand a child is ^Emcrying ^Ches hungry and co^Dld ^Chis life has been s^Dold ^Chis young face looks ^Dold its the fa^Cce of am^Derica d^Gying
