SONG: THE HAND THAT FEEDS ARTIST: THE CRANE WIVES TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] Am F Am F [Verse]
 Am
I've seen good men spoiled

  F
Chained to their jobs like hounds

      G
They work and sleep and work again

        E
In the darkest nights they howl

 Am
Their cries are a warning

    F
To everyone following

G
No man should stand to work all of his days

         E
And have nothing at the end of them
[Chorus]
          Am             F
I got no money but the change

      G             E
That jingles in my pockets

   Dm             G        Am  E
Reminding me how little I have

            Am    F
But as for time I am

 G            E
Powerless to stop it

       Dm                 G             Am  Am E E E E
Keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man
[Verse]
    Am
My papa was a howling man

  F
Traded in his youth

 G
Sold his dreams and all of his days

          E
For the great American ruse

    Am
And my dear papa gave me

 F
Lessons in regret

         G
He said all that he'd done would be for nothing

      E
If I followed in his steps
[Chorus]
          Am             F
I got no money but the change

      G             E
That jingles in my pockets

   Dm             G        Am  E
Reminding me how little I have

            Am    F
But as for time I am

  G           E
Powerless to stop it

       Dm                G              Am  Am E E E E
Keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man
[Verse]
    Am
My papa taught me how to howl

        F
How to bare my teeth and growl

     G
He taught me that the hand that feeds

   E
Deserves to be bitten when it beats

    Am
He taught me how to break my chains

          F
And that money ain't worth a thing

         G
And that no man should get

                     E
More of my time than me, yeah me
[Verse]
N.C.              Am
I may never be a rich man

    F      G                   E
But I can make sure that I am free

                  Am
I may never be a rich man

     F             G                        E
The rich man will never have me, never have me

                  Am
I may never be a rich man

    F      G                   E
But I can make sure that I am free

                  Am
I may never be a rich man

     F             G                        E
The rich man will never have me, never have me
[Outro]
             Am              F
I got no money  but the change

               G           E
That jangles in  my pockets

            Am          G      Am E
Reminding me  how little  I have

            Am  F            G    E
But as for tiiiiime, as for tiiiiime

    Am  F        G   E
Is miiiiine, Is miiiiine

          Am~~
