Ooohh

Verse:
                            G           F              Dm         G
The doubt of work sends the out of work man, To city a hope and a home
Am                           G          F              Dm            G
  When one door shuts here a-nother two slam, Yes he's homeless he's hopeless alone
Am                G          F                Dm          G
  Row upon row of castles in Spain, make up a fool's para-dise
Am                               G           F                 Dm            G
  The still born brainchild of a man with no brain, The ballot box baby that died

Chorus:
          C      F                  G      Dm   F
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us the world
          C      F                  G      Dm   F                 Am
(In Hooverville), yes they promised us the world (Crying for the moon)

Verse:
Am                         G          F                        Dm               G
  Now dirty faced children sit in the road, in the shanty town shacks they call home
Am                       G                   F                 Dm           G
  The comfort of knowing they won't be there long, Is the only comfort they know.
Am                                G           F                     Dm            G
  A young scream a young dream is lost in the night, Along with the young will to live,
Am                            G           F                    Dm        G
  Along with the masses, that gave up the fight, A fight for a reason to live,

          C      F                  G    Dm             F
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us a roof above our heads
