Pete Seeger – The Faucets Are Dripping (Guitar)

    C
The faucets are dripping in old New York City

    F                        C
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity

    G7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying

    G7                       C    G7
The faucets that drip in New York

    C
You can't ask the landlord to put in a washer

     F                       C
He'd rather you move than to put in a washer

    G7
The faucets are dripping, they sound in my ears

    G7                                     C
The tap in the bathroom's been running for years

          C
There's a wild streak of green in the sink in the kitchen

   F                             C
It comes from the rill trickling out of the plumbing

    G7
The streams from the mountains, the pools from the lea

    G7                                 C
All run from my faucet and down to the sea

    C
You can't ask the landlord to put in a washer

     F                        C
You can't ask the landlord to mend the old stairs

   G7
He takes in the rent and he lives in Miami

      G7                                      C
Where faucets don't drip and there's sun everywhere

    C
The faucets are dripping, the landlord's content

     F                   C
With every new tenant he raises the rent

    G7
The buildings can crumble, the tenants can cry

          G7                                        C
There's a shortage of housing, you'll live there or die

        C
They're building some buildings and new Lincoln Centers

     F                          C
It's sure working hell with the low-income renters

        G7
They're jammed into rooms with the rat and the fly

          G7                                     C
Where the faucets all drip and the floor's never dry

    C
The faucets are dripping in old New York City

    F                        C
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity

    G7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying

    G7                       C
The faucets that drip in New York
