    Am                 B7/A  E7sus/A          A5
         Look at the weather,     look at the news

Still we worship at the marketplace
     Am                      B7/A         E7sus/A  A5
While    common sense is goin' out of style
Dm                            Am
  I thought that I would be above it all by now
Dm                 F            E
 In some country garden in the shade
