D5 
The assembly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow 
        G5                             A5 
but the bills kept pooring in, me and beck took it on the chin 
        D5 
And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel 
G5 
She had enough at last 
A5 
of these modern grapes of wrath 


G5                                   D5 
Saddam Huessien still has a job but I don't 
G5                                         A5 
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't 
              D5         
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both 
       G5                              
with a sign that reads will work for food 
    E5                 G5                             A5 
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire 
           G5                 A5                 D5 
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire  
 
It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hope 
 
honest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans 
 
Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that  

keeps me warm 
 
Its still hard to belive 
 
This could ever happen to me

The President still has a job but I don't 
G5                                         A5 
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't 
              D5         
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both 
       G5

and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire 
           G5                 A5                 D5 
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire 
           G5                 A5                B5 
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
