[A] [D] [A]
[D] They're out poor people without poor ways But [A] there's nowhere to use them and now it's too late
[D] And they curse on the one who uttered the phrase [A] Resettlement now, why [D] resettlement days
He sits on the dock and he looks across the bay [A] And watches his memories as they pass on the waves
[D] And he wonders what part fate might have dealt [A] If he told those officials to go straight [D] to hell
But [G] you can't take a man from [D] the soil where he grew Lest you [A] know how to solace his mind when you do
[G] And for God's sake don't say [D] how much greener's the grass Cause [A] those uprooted people saw it weather too [D] fast
[G] [D] [A]
[D] You can launch a house easy and tow it away But the [A] home doesn't move, it continues to stay
And [D] the dollars you make sure they'll keep you alive But they won't soothe the heart and they can't [D] ease the mind
He spits on the plank and the memories roll The [A] spring sun is shining, there's a lop in the cove
[D] And the shoreline is dotted with lobster pot boys [A] But his boat's full of weeds and there's [D] tears in his eyes
[G] Don't take a man from [D] the life that he knows [A] And tear up his roots [D] and expect him to grow
[G] Cause if he's [D] unwillingly forced to decide He'll [A] move without leaving and never arrive
[G] Don't take a man from the life that he knows [A] And tear up his roots and [D] expect him to grow
[G] And for God's sake don't [D] say how much greener's the grass Cause [A] those uprooted people saw it weather too fast
Those [A] uprooted people saw it weather [D] too fast
[D] They're out poor people without poor ways But [A] there's nowhere to use them and now it's too late
