Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother 

*chorus*
Dm              C
Mothers weep, children sleep 
 F                 Dm
So much violence ends in silence 
Bb                    Dm
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame 
      F              C
For all the pain that life brings 
Dm           C         F                 Dm
If u will just take me It might just complete me 
      Bb                 C
And together we can make a stand 


Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)

A waitress brings me lunch 
We meet but do not touch 
On TV, D.C. is selling lies 
While in the corner, King's dream dies 
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend 
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him 
The mayor has no cash 
He said he spent it on hookers and hash 

*chorus*

(one downward strum each)
Dm  F    C  Dm  Dm  F   C  Dm
U will love me, I will love u 
(x2)
*chorus*
