SALT OF THE EARTH
As recorded by Joan Baez
(From the 1971 Album BLESSED ARE...)
[Intro]
G D C G D C G
[Verse 1]
GLet's Ddrink to the Chard working Gpeople
Let's Ddrink to the Clowly of Gbirth
Raise your Dglass to the Cgood and the Gevil
Let's Ddrink to the Csalt of the eaGrth
GSay a Dprayer for the Ccommon foot Gsoldier
Spare a Dthought for his Cback breaking Gwork
Say a Dprayer for his Cwife and his Gchildren
Who burn the Dfires and who Cstill till the earth
[Chorus]
EmWhen I search a Bmfaceless Dcrowd
EmSwirling mass of Bmgrey and black and Dwhite
BmThey don't look real to me
CIn fact they look so Dstrange
[Verse 2]
GRaise your Dglass to the Chard working Gpeople
Let's Ddrink to the Cuncounted Ghead
Let's Dthink of the Cwavering Gmillions
Who want Dleaders but get Cgamblers instGead
Spare a Dthought for the Cstay-at-home Gvoter
His empty Deyes gaze at Cstrange beauty Gshows
And a Dparade of Cgray suited Ggrafters
A choice of Dcancer or Cpolio
[Chorus]
EmAnd when I search a Bmfaceless Dcrowd
EmSwirling mass of Bmgrey and black and Dwhite
BmThey don't look real to me
CIn fact they look so Dstrange
[Verse 3]
GLet's Ddrink to the Chard working Gpeople
Let's Dthink of the Clowly of Gbirth
Spare a Dthought for the Cragtaggy Gpeople
Let's Ddrink to the Csalt of the eaGrth
Let's Ddrink to the Chard working Gpeople
Let's Ddrink to the Csalt of the Gearth
Let's Dthink of the Cthree thousand Gmillion
Let's Dthink of the Chumble of birth
[Outro]
