The people in this city call me country
   A                                 D
Because of how I walk and talk and smile
                         A/C#              Em
Well
I don't mind them laughing in the city

But the country folks all say I'm citified

Gentle people call me trouble maker
A                                        D
 'Cause I'll always fight and stand my ground

Some pious people point and call me sinner
   A                                 D
Because to them I've never seen the lights
                  A/C#         Em
Other folks think of me as a preacher
A                               D
I'm just doing what I think is right

                 A/C#             Em
Wealthy people think that I am a hobo
 A                                 D
Lean and hungry, writing mournful songs
                            A/C#        Em
And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man
     A                               D
But really
I'm just trying to get along

And the government has given me a number
    B                              E
To simplify my birth and life and death
                     B/D#              F#m
And still somebody thinks I'm awful important
  B                               E
That's enough if she's all I got left

F#m         E/G#     A      B      E
 Where have all the honest people gone?

 Where have all the honest people gone?
