Lyrics without distraction HERE
From Don McLean's 1973 album "Homeless Brother", but better performed live on "Solo", recorded in UK 1973 and released '76.Life always troubles you. It's a battle; struggling for life. Small and big problems, real or imagined. Walk tall, but carry a big stick.
E [E6] ...G A rust on your fingers you've got rubbles at your feet E [E6] E7 keep the home fires burning but look out for the heat A7 [A7+6] A7 cause there's a man at the window who knows just what you think E [E6] E and there's that water boy behind you who won't give you a drink B7 cause it's a hard hard times no easy roads in sight E E7 Esus4 ⨂ B7sus4 G E it takes a great big man to make a great big fight A7 E A7 E think about your baby think about your wife A7 E F# B7 think about your banker who's trying to take your life A7 E C#m A9 think about this planet that's rolling through the night B7 ⨂ A7 ⨂ B7sus4 B7 then tell me can you turn your back to such a great big fight?
McLean's got a tenor voice. I'm bass baritone, so I use the E key.
