Easing along down the line

C G7
You roll off and here's what you find

The ruins and ashes lie scattered around
F C
The jungle is empty and bare
F C
The shanties and tents are all burned to the ground
G C
Not a fire or a friend anywhere

A rich man he lives in a house made of stone
F C
High on a hill looking down

A poor man he lives in a tarpaper shack
C G G7
Way out on the back side of town

But a rich man don't worry about his fine house

It's protected like you never saw

While a poor man gets railroaded out by the cops

He stands with his back to the wall

A rich man he spends nearly half of his life

Just chasing a little white ball

You might flush a scoundrel or two?

Set fire to some big fancy hall

The cops'd come down like a blood-thirsty hound

And flat nail his hide to the wall?

They've got you boys, win, lose or draw;
F C
Try as you may to keep out of their way
G C
You just get burned out by the law
