[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Bb C Dm My father he rides with your sheriffs Bb C And I know he would never mean harm F Bb Gm But to see both sides of a quarrel Bb Dm Is to judge without hate or alarm
[Chorus]
F Gm Bb Oh, oh, helpless and slow F Gm Dm And you don't have anywhere to go
[Verse 2]
Bb C Dm You take away homes from the homeless Bb C And leave them to die in the cold F Bb Gm7 The gypsy who begged for your presents Bb Dm He will laugh in your face when you're old
[Chorus]
F Gm Bb Oh, oh, helpless and slow F Gm Dm And you don't have anywhere to go
[Verse 3]
Bb C Dm Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey Bb C Another he drinks up his wine F Bb Gm7 And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate Bb Dm For those of a different kind
[Chorus]
F Gm Bb Oh, oh, helpless and slow F Gm Dm And you don't have anywhere to go
[Verse 4]
Bb C Dm When the rivers run thicker than trouble Bb C I'll be there at your side in the flood F Bb Gm7 It was all I could do to keep myself Bb Dm From taking revenge of blood
[Chorus]
F Gm Bb Oh, oh, helpless and slow F Gm Dm And you don't have anywhere to go F Gm Bb Oh, oh, helpless and slow F Gm Dm And you don't have anywhere to go
