 Intro: Dm
 
 Verse 1:
 
     Gm7        C               Dm    
 My father he rides with your sheriffs
       Gm7            Bb         C  
 And I know he would never mean harm
         F        Bb          C    
 But to see both sides of a quarrel
         Gm7                  Dm  
 Is to judge without hate or alarm
 
 Chorus:
 
  F     Gm    Bb              
 Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
      F             Gm7         Dm 
 And you don't have anywhere to go
 
 
 Verse 2:
 
      Gm7          C           Dm     
 You take away homes from the homeless
      Gm7           Bb         C  
 And leave them to die in the cold
      F         Bb              C      
 The gypsy who begged for your presents
          Gm7                           Dm 
 He will laugh in your face when you're old
 
 Chorus:
 
  F     Gm    Bb              
 Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
      F             Gm7         Dm 
 And you don't have anywhere to go
 
 Verse 3:
 
       Gm7          C             Dm   
 Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
   Gm7        Bb           C  
 Another he drinks up his wine
               F               Bb       C           
 And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
      Gm7                  Dm 
 For those of a different kind
 
 Chorus:
 
  F     Gm    Bb              
 Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
      F             Gm7         Dm 
 And you don't have anywhere to go
 
 
 Verse 4:
 
           Gm7          C           Dm   
 When the rivers run thicker than trouble
          Gm7          Bb           C   
 I'll be there at your side in the flood
         F          Bb     C         
 It was all I could do to keep myself
       Gm7                Dm 
 From taking revenge of blood
 
 
 Chorus:
 
  F     Gm    Bb              
 Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
      F             Gm7         Dm 
 And you don't have anywhere to go
  F     Gm    Bb              
 Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow
      F             Gm7         Dm 
 And you don't have anywhere to go
