[F]Rich man [Em]eats when he [Dm]wishes[G] A [Dm]poor man[Am] whenever he [G]can.[G7] I need a home, but my boots keep goin', Healing and peace that a fire would provide. A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow; First things first when you get to the fire. Rich man eats when he wishes A poor man whenever he can. I need a song, but the spring is for sowing, A word to the wise that the Earth must provide A tune to untangle the riddle of growing; First things first when you get to the land. Rich man eats when he wishes A poor man whenever he can. I need the moon, but the landlord needs money, A field of wild flowers that the stars could provide. A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow; First things first when you get to the sky. Rich man eats when he wishes A poor man whenever he can. # # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz <putz@parc.xerox.com> # 7 September 1992
