Salt of The Earth
E B E A E
Lets drink to the hard working people
E B E A E
Lets drink to the lowly of birth
E B E A E
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
E B E A E
Lets drink to the salt of the earth
E B A E
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
E B E A E
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
A B A A E
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
E B E A E
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
E A E A E A E E
C#m G#m
And when I search a faceless crowd
C#m G#m F#m G#m
A swirling mass of gray and Black and white
A
They dont look real to me
B
In fact, they look so strange
E B E A E
Raise your glass to the hard working people
E B E A E
Lets drink to the uncounted heads
E B E A E
Lets think of the wavering millions
E B E A E
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead
E B E A E
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
E B E A E
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
E B E A E
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
E B E A E
A choice of cancer or polio
E A E A E A E E
C#m G#m
And when I look in the faceless crowd
C#m G#m F#m G#m
A swirling mass of grays and Black and white
A
They dont look real to me
B
Or dont they look so strange
E B E A E
Lets drink to the hard working people
E B A A E
Lets think of the lowly of birth
E B E A E
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
E B E A E
Lets drink to the salt of the earth
E B E A E
Lets drink to the hard working people
E B E A E
Lets drink to the salt of the earth
E B E A E
Lets drink to the two thousand million
E B E A E
Lets think of the humble of birth
