Street man named desire by Pirates of the Mississippi
transcribed by Clint Celio
D
The assembly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow
G A
but the bills kept pooring in, me and beck took it on the chin
D
And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel
G
She had enough at last
A
of these modern grapes of wrath
Chorus
G D
Saddam Huessien still has a job but I don't
G A
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
D
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
G
with a sign that reads will work for food
Em G A
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
G A D
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hope
honest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans
Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that
keeps me warm
Its still hard to belive
This could ever happen to me
Chorus
2x
2nd Chorus
G D
The President still has a job but I don't
G A
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
D
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
G
with a sign that reads will work for food
Em G A
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
G A D
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
G A Bm
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
