 E A E A E B *
 
 E     B            E            A  E  
 Let s drink to the hard working people
       B            E        A    
 Let s drink to the lowly of birth
 E          B            E            A E 
 Raise your glass to the good and the evil
       B            E           A    
 Let s drink to the salt of the earth
 
 E     B              E           A   E  
 Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
         B               E             A   
 Spare a thought for his back breaking work
 E     B              E            A   E   
 Say a prayer for his wife and his children
     B                      E              A    
 Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
 
     C#m             G#m           
 And when I search a faceless crowd
   C#m              G#m     
 A swirling mass of gray and
 F#m            
 Black and white
 G#m                       
 They don t look real to me
 A                     B7     
 In fact, they look so strange
 
 E          B            E            A  E  
 Raise your glass to the hard working people
       B            E         A    
 Let s drink to the uncounted heads
 E     B            E        A   E   
 Let s think of the wavering millions
     B                    E          A    
 Who need leaders but get gamblers instead
 
 E       B               E            A  E 
 Spare a thought for the stay at-home voter
           B                    E      A    
 His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
 E     B             E           A   E   
 And a parade of the gray suited grafters
             B         E   A 
 A choice of cancer or polio
 
     C#m             G#m           
 And when I search a faceless crowd
   C#m              G#m     
 A swirling mass of gray and
 F#m            
 Black and white
 G#m                       
 They don t look real to me
 A                     B7     
 In fact, they look so strange
 
 E     B            E            A  E  
 Let s drink to the hard working people
       B            E        A    
 Let s think of the lowly of birth
 E       B               E         A   E 
 Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
       B            E           A    
 Let s drink to the salt of the earth
 
 E     B            E            A  E  
 Let s drink to the hard working people
       B            E           A    
 Let s drink to the salt of the earth
 E     B            E            A   E  
 Let s drink to the two thousand million
       B            E         A    
 Let s think of the humble of birth
