Joe Citizen Blues

Son Volt

 DGAsus2
He left his dreams in the alley
 GG/DD
 Betrayed by false beliefs
 GG/DG6
 Checks the time on his watch again
 DAsus2
This world is spinning into overdrive

 DGAsus2
 History is happening now
 GG/DD
 Lessons of abject failure
 GG/DG6
Do the leaders sleep while thousands die
 DAsus2
To protect from weapons of imagination

 A6/7susA6/7*
  These Joe Citizen  blues

  Joe Citizen  blues

 DAsus2G
And the world spins around with head bowed down
 DAsus2G
At onethousand  seventy miles an hour
 DAsus2G
And the world spins around with head bowed down
 DAsus2G
At onethousand  seventy miles an hour

 DGAsus2
When opportunity means firing a gun
 GG/DD
 Looks a lot like past empires
 GG/DG6
The ruling class doesn't fight the wars
 DAsus2
With stock options and fortunes to be made

 DGAsus2
More reason for hope in the future
 GG/DD
When this present is almost past
 GG/DG6
 Sweet black crude and Red White and Blue
 DAsus2
May the innocent find the answer
