[Ab]
[Cm]
[Ab]
[Cm] I've seen good men spoil
[Ab] Jane to their jobs like hounds
[Eb] They [Bb] work and sleep and work again
In [G] the darkest nights they howl
[Cm] Their cries are a warning
[Ab] To everyone following
[Bb] No man should stand to work all of his days in [G] hell
Nothing at the end of that
I got [Cm] no money
[Ab] But the change [Gm] jingles in [G] my pockets
[Fm] Reminding me [Bb] how little [Cm] I have
[G] And [Cm] that's what [Ab] time I am
[Gm]
Powerless, [G] just stop it
[Fm] Scrambling [Bb] on like a mad [Cm] wandering man
[G] [Gm] My [Cm] papa was a hound [Ab] man
He traded in his youth
[Bb] He sold his dreams and all his [G] deeds
For the great American rules
And [Cm] my dear papa gave me
[Ab]
Lessons in regret
[Bb] Said all that he'd done would be for nothing
[G] My papa wouldn't hear his prayers
I [Cm] got no money
[Ab] But the [Bb] change jingles in [G] my pockets
[Fm] Reminding [Gm] me how little [Cm] I have
[G]
And [Cm] that's what time [Ab] I am
[Gm] Powerless, just [G] stop it
[Fm] He's rambling on like a [Gm]
mad wandering [Cm] man
[G]
My papa [Cm] taught me how to [Ab] howl
How to bear my teeth and [Bb] growl
He taught me that the hand that beats
[G] Deserves to be bitten when it beats
[Cm] He taught me how to break my [Ab] chains
Let a money age worth the pain
[Bb] And let no man forget more of my [G] time
Than me, than me
[Cm] [Ab]
[Bb] It's alright [G] that I am free
I'm free to [Cm] be who I'm meant to [Ab] be
The best that [Bb] could ever happen
[G]
[C] [Ab]
[Bb] Be sure that [G] I am free
I'm free to [Cm] be who [Ab]
[Bb] I'm meant to be
[G]
I got no money
But the [Ab] change [Bb] jingles in my [G] pockets
[G] Reminding me how little [Bb] I [Cm] have
But that's [C] what time
[Ab] That's [Bb] what [G] time
Is [Cm] my,
[Ab] [Gm] is my
[G]
