Chords for Harry Chapin - Last of the Protest Singers

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He's the last of the protest singers [Em] selling truth and commitment
[F#m] He don't get much work these [G] days
He's [A] billed as a novelty [D] act and he stands there with his thumb out
[Em] Hitching a ride towards the rainbow
[F#m] That only he sees shining [G] there to say he's a [A] fool
And that's a fact
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Em] _ [A] Fool
_ [Em] _ _ [A] Yes, [D] he's the last of the protest singers
[Em] But somehow I believe him
[F#m] As he strums on those cold street corners [G] singing
Smart to say [A] not what I am
[D] And late at night I hold him
[Em] He shivers and hides his crying and [F#m] says
Should I just play some rock and roll
[G] Cause nobody [A] really gives a damn
[G] _ [A] I _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ [Em] say that's [A] really not good enough
[Em] Cause there's enough of that [A] kind of stuff
And I [Em] say that's really [A] not good enough
[Em] Cause there's enough of that kind [A] of stuff
And he [A#] says I can't [F] believe _
[G] nobody [F] cares [C] anymore
And he [A#] says I [F] can't believe [G] nobody _ [F] shares [C] anymore
And he [A#] says I can't [F] believe _ [G] nobody's [F] there like [C] before
He says [G] I can't believe [A] it's really true
[Bm] Don't you _
[A] care [G] anymore
[F#m] Yes, _ [Em] _ _
[A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ [D] he's the last of the protest singers
[Em] Staring as he's strumming
For [F#m] he sees the dark clouds coming now
[G] And he says he feels [A] those first [D] few drops
He sees he cannot reach them
[Em] But he tries to sing out louder
And [F#m] I say you're getting hoarse, boy
[G] He says should I [A] give up and stop [G] Fool
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Em] _ _
