G                           D/C     C
When all the salt is taken from the sea
  F#7        Bm    Am7       D7    G
I stand dethroned, I'm naked and I bleed
                               D/C    C
But when your finger points so savegely

Is anybody there to believe in me
   A            C/G  D  G     C        G/D  D  G  D#6/G   G
To hear my plea and...   take care...  of...   me?

In this great big world of sad-.........ness
