Subject: Streetman Named Desire by Pirates of the Mississippi

Street man named desire by Pirates of the Mississippi

D
The assembly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow
G A
but the bills kept pooring in, me and beck took it on the chin
D
And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel
G
She had enough at last
A
of these modern grapes of wrath

Chorus
G D
Saddam Huessien still has a job but I don't
G A
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
D
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
G
with a sign that reads will work for food
Em G A
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
G A D
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire

It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hope

honest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans

Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that
keeps me warm

Its still hard to belive

This could ever happen to me

Chorus

2x

2nd Chorus
G D
The President still has a job but I don't
G A
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
D
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
G
with a sign that reads will work for food
Em G A
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
G A D
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
G A Bm
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
