Capo 2 fret
 
 
Em                           D
For thirty odd years I was a newspaper man
G
I made my living with a pen and a pad
Em                                    C              G      G   Em D
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands
 
 
Em                              D
Been back from the desert for a year or so
G
I left more in that sand than you'll ever know
Em                                    C               G
Another war was waiting for me when I got back home
 
 
Bm                           C
In the name of the flag some gave their lives
G
I'm still living, yeah, Semper Fi
Em                     C               Am
Well, that's my story, what else can I say
       C
Hey, hey
 
 
G                       D
I got a lot to give say can you see
Em                         C
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
G                          D
They took the car but they left the lease
Em                       C
Does anybody want what's left of me?
 
 
G                          D
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Em                            C
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
G                                 D
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Em                       C

They called us "Dirty Harry", we're a punk rock band
G
Why they sold old CBGB's I don't understand
Em                                            C                 G
All that's left now are the t-shirts and they come from Japan
 
 
Bm                 C
I sold my drums to make ends meet
G
The band broke up, we had to eat
Em                              C                  Am
It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days,

I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man
Em                                    C
It's getting hard to make a living in this hard land
G                                            D         C
We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas.
