The Dear Hunter – The Haves Have Naught Chords

GJust look at that shopkeeper peddling his wares
DShouting his sales pitch, but nobody cares
EmDon't you wonder what keeps him there, day after day?
CBegging for gold as his hair turns to gray
GBlindly they're bounding apace
DStarving for mercy in a merciless place
EmOnly a fool would make martyrs from heathens
CAnd find them so lively when they're barely breathing
Just barely breathing
GJust look at that toymaker grinding his gears
DTurning no profit but he doesn't care
EmHe keep smiles on faces day after day
CThe children keep sadness and suffering at bay
GBlissfully bounding apace
DSearching for mercy in a merciless place
EmOnly a monster makes fodder from saints
CAnd finds them so worthless when they're full of grace
So full of grace
GBut what better use of hookers and thieves
DThen greasing the wheels of perfect machines
EmThat hum into life a harmony of industry?
CBut what is the use of cutting them down
GTo smother and choke the Dsoul of our town?
EmI know there is another Cway
GBut, what is so wrong with giving them purpose?
D(Just how could you weed them out?)
Em(Degrading them without doubt)
CA man like yourself could give to the worthless
G(You're bleeding them dry)
D(They live and die like you and I)
EmWithout the guidance of rulers and tyrants
C(And under your guidance; the hands of a tyrant)
These people will just tear themselves apart
GJust look at that charlatan steeped in deceit
DA threat to the young
EmTo the old and the meek
CDon't you wander what made him
GSo vicious, so sick?
DSo far out of balance?
EmSo cruel and so callous?
CSo married to malice?
