Catie Curtis - Hole In The Bucket


CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: C

 Am        C     F
I went down to the city and I found myself a job
Am       C       F
Working for the people who do need some helping out
  Am        C         F
But then, in truth, I found there was so little left to give
  C                    F
The government might save their lives, might not help them to live


CHORUS:
        C
Well, there's a hole in the bucket and the people fall out
    G                    C
There's money underground, but you can't get it out
     F                    C
When you stand at the State House, smile, and say, "Please?"

Well, there's a crack in the floor and the people fall through
     G           C
And they wind up coming back to you
    F                 C
From a place it seems like they can never leave
        G                  Am  C    F  C
Well, there's a hole in the system for the people in need


  Am      C      F
How do you tell a woman who is 82 years old
Am       C       F
Poor and lying in her bed and needing help at home
   Am        C        F
That there is no more money, there is nothing you can do
   C                  F
Just hold on for a better year and we'll try to get to you


CHORUS:
        C
Well, there's a hole in the bucket and the people fall out
    G                    C
There's money underground, but you can't get it out
     F                    C
When you stand at the State House, smile, and say, "Please?"

Well, there's a crack in the floor and the people fall through
     G           C
And they wind up coming back to you
    F                 C
From a place it seems like they can never leave
        G                  Am  C
Well, there's a hole in the system for the people in need


INSTRUMENTAL: F Am C F C  F Am C F C F C F  C


  Am       C         F
Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies and amber waves of grain
 Am              C        F
America, you're beautiful, but you have got to change
  Am       C            F
You think of how to save your skin, but you never mind the bones
   C               F
Have we become a country where the hearts have turned to stones?


CHORUS:
        C
Well, there's a hole in the bucket and the people fall out
    G                    C
There's money underground, but you can't get it out
     F                  C
When you stand at the Capitol, smile, and say, "Please?"

Well, there's a crack in the floor and the people fall through
     G           C
And they wind up coming back to you
    F                 C
From a place it seems like they can never leave
        G                  C
Well, there's a hole in the system for the people in need
