Am Jimmy got nothing made himself a name With a gun that he polished for a rainy day A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie Dm7 Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away He said it made him crazy Am Twenty five years living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep She needs her mother but her mother is dead Just another hooker that the lucky can forget Just another hooker It happens everyday She loved her little baby But she couldn't bare to see her livin' hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth Chorus: Fmaj7 Em I believe in the gods of America Fmaj7 Em I believe in the land of the free Dm7 But no one told me (No one told me) Am That the gods believe in nothing G So with empty hands I pray Em And from day to hopeless day Am They still don't see me (See me) Everybody talks about the new generation Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation "Like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time" Somebody shouted save me But everybody started livin' hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth There's a big white lady On a big white doorstep She asked her daddy and her daddy said "Yes" Has to give a little for the dollars that we get Has to give a little They say it's for the best Somebody shouted maybe But they kept on livin' from hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth Chorus: So she ran to the arms of America (America) And she kissed the powers that be And someone told me (someone told me) That the gods believe in nothing So with empty hands I pray And I tell myself One day They just might see me You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Dm  Dm7  Em  Fm  Fmaj7  Fmaj  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
