Author was brought as the plain simple [E] man in a plain simple working [A] class position.
The world was hard and its ways were said.
[E] He was young and he had so [A] much ambition.
All the way he was [E] overtaken by people [A] who made big decisions.
But, trying to try for a better life [E] than a wage or a food is [A] on commission.
[D] If only life were easy it would be such fun.
[A] [G] [D]
Things would be more equal and be plenty for [C] everyone.
[G] [D]

How's the wife of the chandler [E] lord, is the lord of Santa [A] Mara, yeah?
Such a golden glory has passed her by, [E] can't you see what a woman [A] you are?
[D] And now we see your children sailing off in the [A] sailing [G] sun.
[D]
To a new horizon where there's plenty for [C] everyone.
[G] [D]
I thought to be that the world was [A] long, don't you know it?
[D] Don't you know it?
I thought to be you were right all along, don't you know it?
I hope you know it.
Now we know and we [A] sympathize, [D]
we'd like to help you and understand [A] you.
