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] C
