Bm Hey, there's no news Poor man still got the blues He's walking 'round in worn out shoes With nothing to lose Hey, he's on the road Pushing along his heavy load Heading for no fixed abode Shuffling slow Chorus: A Bm Corporations get the breaks A Bm Keeping almost everything they make A Bm Tell us just how long it's going to take A For it to trickle down G7 When will it trickle down Hey, he's on the street Laying in the snow and sleet Begging for something to eat And looking beat Hey, passers-by They don't dare to catch his eye Couldn't even tell you why Or what's happening inside Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA G7 Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
