[Intro]
F, F, G (x4)
[Verse 1]
They keep Ftalking of the Gthings they'd do if we'd Fonly vote them in
One more Fdollar and all the Gbickering and Fsuffering would end
If you'd Fsign your 'X' in Gfavour it's three Fjobs for every man
You can Fburn your boats, thats Gwhat they said, it Fseemed they had it planned
And I Dmhope they haven't forgGotten, the Fpromises they Gmade
[Chorus]
Cause they Fsaid they'd stop the Gfighting
And they Fsaid they would bring peace
And they sFaid they'd find a sGerum that can cFure all our disease
And they Fsaid they'd house the Ghomeless
And put Fblack and white in tune
And Dmthey said they'd feed a Fhungry child
And I Ghope it's someday soon
[Intro]
[Verse 2]
Saw a man sleep in an alley lane with a paper for a bed
And the headline shown beneath the man and this is what they read,
"If elected there would be no persons living in the street"
But the paper couldn't even provide shelter for his freezing feet.
And I hope they haven't forgotten, The promises they made
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Well they Dmsaid it would be so Dmdifferent, if we would Dmonly play their Dmgames
And I've been Dmplaying for so Dmlong and I Fswear its still the Gsame!
[Chorus 2x]
