[Intro]
G D C G D C G
[Verse 1]
G D C G
Let's drink to the hard working people
D C G
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
D C G
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
D C G
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
G D C G
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
D C G
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
D C G
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
D C
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
[Chorus]
Em Bm D
When I search a faceless crowd
Em Bm D
Swirling mass of grey and black and white
Bm
They don't look real to me
C D
In fact they look so strange
[Verse 2]
G D C G
Raise your glass to the hard working people
D C G
Let's drink to the uncounted head
D C G
Let's think of the wavering millions
D C G
Who want leaders but get gamblers instead
D C G
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
D C G
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
D C G
And a parade of gray suited grafters
D C
A choice of cancer or polio
[Chorus]
Em Bm D
And when I search a faceless crowd
Em Bm D
Swirling mass of grey and black and white
Bm
They don't look real to me
C D
In fact they look so strange
[Verse 3]

Let's drink to the hard working people
D C G
Let's think of the lowly of birth
D C G
Spare a thought for the ragtaggy people
D C G
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
D C G
Let's drink to the hard working people
D C G
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
D C G
Let's think of the three thousand million
D C
Let's think of the humble of birth
[Outro]
