[A]
[Dm]
My [G] father [C] he rides in [D] your ships And [Gm] I know he would never [C] mean harm
But [F] to see [Bb] both sides of [C] a quarrel Is [Gm] to judge without hate or [Dm] love
[F] Oh, [G] [Bb] helpless and small [F] And you don't [G] have anywhere [D] to go
[Dm]
[D] [G] You take away [C] homes [D] from the homeless And [Gm] leave them to [Bb] die [C] in the cold
[F] The gypsy [Bb] who bears [C] your presence He [Gm] will laugh in your face when [D] you're alone
[F]
[G] Oh, [Bb] helpless and small And [F] you don't [G] have anywhere [D] to go
[F]
[Gm] [Bb]
[F]
[Gm] [D]
[Dm]
[Gm] Well, one man [C] he drinks up [D] his coffee Another [Gm]
he drinks up [C] his wine
And [F] they'll drink till [Bb] they're all [C] dead with hate
[Gm] For those of a different [D] kind
[F] Oh, [Gm] [Bb] helpless and [Bb] small [C] And you don't [Gm] have anywhere [D] to go
[Dm]
[A] [G] When the river's [C] running for some [Dm] trouble [Gm] I'll be there at your [Bb] side [C] in the flood
[F] It was all I could [Bb] do [C] to keep myself [Gm] From taking the venom from your [A]
blood
[F]
[G] Oh, [Bb] helpless and small [F] And you don't [Gm] have anywhere [D] to go
[F] Oh,
[Gm] [Bb] helpless and small [F] And you don't [Gm] have anywhere [D] to go
