Salt Of The Earth
Rolling Stones

D G  D G  D A  *

D     A            D            G  D
Let's drink to the hard working people
      A            D        G
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
D          A            D            G D
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
      A            D           G
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

D     A              D           G   D
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
        A               D             G
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
D     A              D            G   D
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
             A             D              G
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

D  G D  3x

    Bm             F#m
And when I search a faceless crowd
  Bm              F#m       Em
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
F#m
They don't look real to me
G                     A7   A
In fact, they look so strange

D          A            D            G  D
Raise your glass to the hard working people
      A            D         G
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
D     A            D        G   D
Let's think of the wavering millions
    A                    D          G
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

D       A               D            G  D
Spare a thought for the stay at-home voter
          A                    D      G
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
D     A             D           G   D
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
            A         D   G
A choice of cancer or polio

D  G D  3x

    Bm             F#m
And when I search a faceless crowd
  Bm              F#m       Em
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
F#m
They don't look real to me
G                     A7   A
In fact, they look so strange

D     A            D            G  D
Let's drink to the hard working people
      A            D        G
Let's think of the lowly of birth
D       A               D         G   D
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
      A            D           G
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

D     A            D            G  D
Let's drink to the hard working people
      A            D           G
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
D     A            D            G   D
Let's drink to the two thousand million
      A            D         G
Let's think of the humble of birth
