ACast (x02220@1)your vote for the carpenter
A (x02220@1)                E7 (020130@1) AThat (x02220@1)they call the Nazarene

A (x02220@1)               E7 (020130@1)  A (x02220@1)The crooked politician men
      AIs (x02220@1)to  cast the money-changers

A (x02220@1)Every year we waste enough
   A (x02220@1)      E7 (020130@1)     ATo (x02220@1)feed the ones who starve
   AWe (x02220@1)build our civilization up
