The Rolling Stones – Salt Of The Earth (Guitar)

E      B            E            A  E  (E)
 Let's drink to the hard working people

      B            E        A     (A)
Let's drink to the lowly of birth

E           B            E            A E  (E)
 Raise your glass to the good and the evil

      B            E           A    (A)
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

E      B              E           A   E  (E)
 Say a prayer for the common foot soldier

        B               E             A   (A)
Spare a thought for his back breaking work

E      B              E            A   E   (E)
 Say a prayer for his wife and his children

    B                      E              A
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

    C#m             G#m
And when I search a faceless crowd

  C#m              G#m
A swirling mass of gray and

F#m
Black and white

G#m
They don't look real to me

A                      B7   B
 In fact, they look so strange

E           B            E            A  E  (E)
 Raise your glass to the hard working people

      B            E         A    (A)
Let's drink to the uncounted heads

E      B            E        A   E   (E)
 Let's think of the wavering millions

    B                    E          A    (A)
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

E        B               E            A  E  (E)
 Spare a thought for the stay at-home voter

          B                    E      A    (A) 
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows

E      B             E           A   E   (E)           
 And a parade of the gray suited grafters

            B         E   A     
A choice of cancer or polio

    C#m             G#m
And when I search a faceless crowd

  C#m              G#m
A swirling mass of gray and

F#m
Black and white

G#m
They don't look real to me

A                      B7   B
 In fact, they look so strange

E      B            E            A  E  (E)
 Let's drink to the hard working people 

      B            E        A    (A)
Let's think of the lowly of birth

E        B               E         A  E  (E)
 Spare a thought for the rag taggy people

      B            E           A    (A) 
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

E      B            E            A  E  (E)
 Let's drink to the hard working people

      B            E           A    (A) 
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

E      B            E            A   E  (E)
 Let's drink to the two thousand million

      B            E         A     
Let's think of the humble of birth
