             THE HAND THAT FEEDS
               THE CRANE WIVES

CAPO: 3rd FRET

INTRO:
Am  F   Am   F


VERSE:
 Am
I`ve seen good men spoiled
  F
Chained to their jobs like hounds
      G
They work and sleep and work again
        E
In the darkest nights they howl

 Am
Their cries are a warning
    F
To everyone following
G
No man should stand to work all of his days
         E
And have nothing at the end of them


CHORUS:
          Am             F
I got no money but the change
      G             E
That jingles in my pockets
   Dm             G        Am  E
Reminding me how little I have


                 Am     F
And there`s for times I am
 G            E
Powerless to stop it
       Dm                 G             Am  Am E E E E
Keeps rambling on like a man, wandering man


VERSE:
    Am
My papa was a howling man
  F
Traded in his youth
 G
Sold his dreams and all of his days
          E
For the great American ruse


    Am
And my dear papa gave me
 F
Lessons in regret
         G
He said all that he`d done would be for nothing
      E
If I followed in his steps


CHORUS:
          Am             F
I got no money but the change
      G             E
That jingles in my pockets
   Dm             G        Am  E
Reminding me how little I have


                 Am     F
And there`s for times I am
  G           E
Powerless to stop it
       Dm                G              Am  Am E E E E
Keeps rambling on like a man, wandering man


VERSE:
    Am
My papa taught me how to howl
        F
How to bear my teeth and growl
     G
He taught me that the hand that feeds
   E
Deserves to be bitten when it beats


    Am
He taught me how to break my chains
          F
And that money ain`t worth a thing
         G
And that no man should get
                     E
More of my time than me, yeah me


VERSE:
N.C.              Am
I may never be a rich man
    F      G                   E
But I can make sure that I am free
                  Am
I may never be a rich man
     F             G                        E
The rich man will never have me, never have me


                  Am
I may never be a rich man
    F      G                   E
But I can make sure that I am free
                  Am
I may never be a rich man
     F             G                        E
The rich man will never have me, never have me


OUTRO:
             Am              F
I got no money  but the change
               G           E
That jangles in  my pockets
            Am          G      Am E
Reminding me  how little  I have
                 Am  F                 G    E
But there`s for tiiiiime, there`s for tiiiiime
    Am  F        G   E
Is miiiiine, Is miiiiine
