Verse 1:
  G
The yoke of pride, so many times
  G
Has fallen on the best of us
  G
The yoke of pride, so many times
  G        F       G
Has burdened us who dwell in charity
G

Why, you ask, not break the chains?
   G
T'is hard enough contending with
  G
The downward eyes of passer-bys
  G          F       G
No hearth, no home, no love, no dignity


Chorus:
Eb   G  F   Eb
Lo, yet one more decry
    Bb    D       Eb
From an infamous throne such as mine
G  F  C
Vile and stable
   Eb      D   G
In a wondrous and slow decline

Verse 2:
  G
The rain still must fall
   G
On a wanderer of such likeness
G           Bb  Eb D
Fortune is a beggar’s bane
    G
Yet the stain blights us all
G
More so who thus deny it
G           Bb  Eb D
Fortune is a beggar’s bane


Chorus:
Eb    G   F    Eb
Now I'm a rogue in your eyes
   Bb     D     Eb
But I once was a yeoman who shined
    G   F   C
With a place at the table
   Eb     D   G
With laymen and lords alike

Chorus:
Eb  G   F      Eb
Now I find myself in the mire

Of a world still unfolding itself

In a wondrous and slow decline
