[Intro]
G D C G D C G
[Verse 1]
G D C G Let's drink to the hard working people D C G Let's drink to the lowly of birth D C G Raise your glass to the good and the evil D C G Let's drink to the salt of the earth G D C G Say a prayer for the common foot soldier D C G Spare a thought for his back breaking work D C G Say a prayer for his wife and his children D C Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
[Chorus]
Em Bm D When I search a faceless crowd Em Bm D Swirling mass of grey and black and white Bm They don't look real to me C D In fact they look so strange
[Verse 2]
G D C G Raise your glass to the hard working people D C G Let's drink to the uncounted head D C G Let's think of the wavering millions D C G Who want leaders but get gamblers instead D C G Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter D C G His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows D C G And a parade of gray suited grafters D C A choice of cancer or polio
[Chorus]
Em Bm D And when I search a faceless crowd Em Bm D Swirling mass of grey and black and white Bm They don't look real to me C D In fact they look so strange
[Verse 3]
G D C G Let's drink to the hard working people D C G Let's think of the lowly of birth D C G Spare a thought for the ragtaggy people D C G Let's drink to the salt of the earth D C G Let's drink to the hard working people D C G Let's drink to the salt of the earth D C G Let's think of the three thousand million D C Let's think of the humble of birth
