Strum
D-DU-UDU
 repeated
God  of the rich man ain't the God  of the poor.
God's  men and the state hospitals  closed, and don't  you know
Winos  and office  girls in the park.
 One  of you longed to walk  beside her,
 One  of you longed to live  beside her, it was morning,
Better  roads with light on them.
Can  your diamonds talk  to you, can  you see them shine.
Keep  them hiding in  your room, can  they guide you in  your time.
 Windows were broken by the dear one's hand,
 Gates left swinging by your dear one's hand, an old book salesman
 asked if he could step in.
 The sidewalks you slept on held no rest. You gave away the money you'd saved
 in your trust, you're sorry now. Life hits you funny at a time.
 (Sung over intro chords)
 The sidewalks, you slept on, they're so broken.
 I'll meet you there.
 Years before the tears would start to roll, You walked outside, ran back in
 your room, what did you hope for, I turned the corner while you slept.
 God of the rich man ain't the God of the poor. God's men and the state
 hsopitals closed, and don't you know, Winos and office girls ion the park.
 The walk up lick is played on the D string, it's chromatic starting with the
 open D. During the verse hammer on the D on the B string when playing the C
 chords.
