Chords for An Ordinary Man - Will Keating

I'm an ordinary [G] man, nothing [F] special, [Am] nothing's bland
I've had to work [G] for everything [Am] I own
I never asked [G] for a lot, I [F] was happy with [Am] what I got
[F] Enough to keep [G] my family and [Am] my home
Now [F] they tell me [G] every day, [C] that things aren't [Am] going their way
[F] And still they're asking me to [E] take a bow _
[Am] But at the [G] end of the day, [F] when I look [Am] down at my pay
[F] I can't [G] afford to feed my [Am] family now
Can't [F] afford to feed [G] my [Am] family now
_ _ _ _ I've never [G] missed a day or [F] dodged my tax [Am] in any way
[F] For twenty [G] years I worked the [Am] best I could
_ But now I'm [G] under threat, it [F] seems so easy [Am] to forget
_ [F] No ill [G] teeth with the bad times [Am] and through good
_ [F] Or do they [G] really care, [C] that we got no [Am] food to share
[F] Well they can live the life that [E] they can choose
[A] They still smoke their [G] big cigars, [F] drive their [Am] brand new cars
Still afford to [G] take their families [Am] on a cruise
They'll [F] never [G] lose
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now it [G] seems to me, [F] such a cruel [Am] irony
[F] They're richer [G] now than ever they were [Am] before
And _ now my [G] money's spent and [F] I can't afford [Am] the rent
[F] There's one law for [G] the rich and one [Am] for the poor
And _ [F] every day [G] I've tried [C] to salvage some [Am] of my pride
[F] But their system just seems to beat [E] me down
Now [Am] the nights are [G] drawing in [F] and the kids are looking [Am]
fit
[C] Sometimes I feel [G] I'd be better off [Am] underground
Better off [F] underground
[G] _ _ [Am] _ Better off [F] underground
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And so condemned [G] I stand, [F] just an ordinary [Am] man
[F] Like thousands [G] beside me on [Am] their knees
_ And I watch my [G] darling wife [F] trying to make the best [Am] of life
[F] And God knows what [G] the kids must think [Am] of me
_ [F] Now that we [G] are faced [C] with this human [Am] waste
[F] And dying each day taking their [E] own lives
For [Am] as long as I [G]
live [F] I never will [Am] forgive
[C] You stripped me of [G] my dignity and [Am] pride
_ You stripped me [F] _ [Bm] bare
_ [Am] _ _ You stripped me [Em] bare
_ [Am] _ _ You stripped [F] me bare
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
