-----------------
(keith sings four lines)
E    B             E           A E (repeat)
lets drink to the hard working people
lets drink to the lowly of birth
raise your glass to the good and the evil
lets drink to the salt of the earth
(mick sings the rest)
say a prayer for the common foot soldier
spare a thought for his back breaking work
say a prayer for his wife and his children
who burn the fires and who still till the earth

(E A) (E A) (E A) (E) (E)
C#m                 G#m     (repeat)
and when i search a faceless crowd

F#m
black and white
G#m

his empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
and a parade of the gray suited grafters
a choice of cancer or polio

and when i...

lets drink to the hard working people
lets think of the lowly of birth
spare a thought for the rag taggy people
lets drink to the salt of the earth

lets drink to the hard working people
lets drink to the salt of the earth
lets think of the two thousand million
lets think of the humble of birth
