Chords for Who Speaks For Me - Tom Paxton

_ _ _ We need a little less bass on the Sanders. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The army [A] comes through, _ _ they [E] curse us and prod us with guns. _ _
Sometimes they take [F#m] us away, _ that's the [E] end of that.
_ _ They go [Em] where they like in our [A] house, _ their [E] eyes miss nothing of value.
_ And may [B] the Virgin [F#m] go with you, if you look [E] on other _ _ nights.
But who speaks [A] for me?
_ _ [E]
I who have [E] no voice.
Who decides [F#m] for me?
For it seems I [E] have no _ choice.
Do I live, do I [A] die?
_ Will [Em] my family survive?
[E] _
_ Will the ones [B] who leap down from the trucks with their guns allow us [E] our _ lives?
One [A] question I'd ask if I dare, [Em]
are the ones [E] who we'll never see.
_ [F#] Guns and dollars are voices for [B] you, but who speaks [E] for me?
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
We are never [A] asked, _ _ [B] we are simply [E] shown to the feats.
we give up [B] our youth and our blood to the cotton [E] and coffee
_ while the gods and [A] the long white houses raise the dust in their long black cars
and they regard us [B] with faces of stone and they [E] grind us like corn
but who speaks for [A] me? _ _
I who have no [E] voice
_ who decides [B] for me?
For it seems I have [E] no _ choice
do I live, [Em] do I die?
[A] Will my family [E] survive?
_ _ Will the ones [B] who live down from the trucks with their guns allow [E] us our lives?
One question [A] I'd ask if I dared of the ones [E] whom we never see _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ We _ _ are [A] born like calves _ we [Dm] are held to be [E] valuable things _
The gods in the [B] long white houses _ ask us [E] to sing
_ In the heavy [F#] air of [A] the evening while [E] the blossoms float on the pool
_ We put our [B]
guitars to silence and we smile [E] like _ fools
But who [A] speaks for me? _

One question [A] I'd ask if I dare, of the one whom we [E] never see
Guns and dollars, [F#m] our voices for you, but who speaks [E] for me?
