Here is UB40's 'One In Ten' for Rhythm Guitar and it's Lyric layout,
It was a Single off their second L.P originally released in 1981 'Present Arms'.
[Note]
This song was written on Drums and Rhythm Guitar alone at first using just two Chords G & F,
Although the Bass line,Lead Guitar,Saxophone and the fact it sounds better point to
it being Gm & F,It just isn't!
I'll place the Gm Chord diagram if you want to do what I do and use it,But G & F is UB40 official.

[Chorus 1]
G F I am the one in ten,A number on a list G F I am the one in ten,Even though I don't exist G F Nobody knows me,But I'm always there G F A statistic,A reminder of a world that doesn't care,
[Saxophone Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
G F My arms unfold the dole queue,Malnutrition dulls my hair G F My eyes are black and lifeless with an underprivileged stare G F I`m the beggar on the corner will no one spare a dime? G F I`m the child that never learns to read 'cause no one spared the time,
[Chorus 2]
G F I am the one in ten,A number on a list G F I am the one in ten,Even though I don`t exist G F Nobody knows me,But I'm always there G F A statistic,A reminder of a world that doesn't care,
[Saxophone Instrumental]
G F G F G F G F
[Verse 2]
G F I`m the murderer,The victim,I'm the license to a gun G F I`m a sad and bruised old lady in an ally in a slum G F I`m a middle aged businessman with chronic heart disease G F I`m another teenage suicide in a street that has no trees,
[Chorus 3]
G F I am the one in ten,A number on a list G F I am the one in ten,Even though I don`t exist G F Nobody knows me,But I'm always there, G F A statistic,A reminder of a world that doesn't care,
[Saxophone Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G F I`m a starving third world mother,Refugee with out a home G F I`m a housewife hooked on Valium,I`m a pensioner alone G F I`m a cancer ridden spectre discovering the earth G F I`m another hungry baby I'm an accident at birth,
[Chorus 4]
G F I am the one in ten,A number on a list G F I am the one in ten,Even though I don`t exist G F Nobody knows me,But I'm always there G F A statistic,A reminder of a world that does`nt care,
[Saxophone Instrumental]
G F G F G F G F
[Chorus 5]
G F I am the one in ten,A number on a list G F I am the one in ten,Even though I don`t exist G F Nobody knows me,But i`m always there
N.C
A statistic,A reminder of a world that doesn't care.
