CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C
I [Am]went down to the [C]city and I [F]found myself a job
[Am]Working for the [C]people who do [F]need some helping out
But [Am]then, in truth, I [C]found there was so [F]little left to give
The [C]government might save their lives, might [F]not help them to live
CHORUS:
Well, there's a [C]hole in the bucket and the people fall out
There's [G]money underground, but you can't get it [C]out
When you [F]stand at the State House, smile, and say,[C] "Please?"
Well, there's a crack in the floor and the people fall through
And they [G]wind up coming back to [C]you
From a [F]place it seems like they can never [C]leave
Well, there's a [G]hole in the system for the people in [Am]need[C][F][C]
How [Am]do you tell a [C]woman who is [F]82 years old
[Am]Poor and lying [C]in her bed and [F]needing help at home
That [Am]there is no more [C]money, there is [F]nothing you can do
Just [C]hold on for a better year and we'll [F]try to get to you
CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: F Am C F C F Am C F C F C F C
Oh, [Am]beautiful, for [C]spacious skies and [F]amber waves of grain
A[Am]merica, you're beautiful, but [C]you have got to [F]change
You [Am]think of how to [C]save your skin, but you [F]never mind the bones
Have [C]we become a country where the [F]hearts have turned to stones?
CHORUS:
Well, there's a [C]hole in the bucket and the people fall out
There's [G]money underground, but you can't get it [C]out
When you [F]stand at the Capitol, smile, and say,[C] "Please?"
Well, there's a crack in the floor and the people fall through
And they [G]wind up coming back to [C]you
From a [F]place it seems like they can never [C]leave
Well, there's a [G]hole in the system for the people in [C]need
