Canzoniere Mbutozone

Sim
Men walkin' long the railroad tracks
Re Sim La
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
La
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Sim La Sim
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Sim
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Re Sim La
Welcome to the new world order
La
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
Sim La Sim
No home no job no peace no rest
Sol
The highway is alive tonight
Re La Sim
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
La
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Sim La Sim
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
Sim
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Re Sim La
Preachers lights up a butt and takes a drag
La
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall
be last
Sim La Sim
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Sim
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
Re Sim La
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
La
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Sim La Sim
Bathin' in the city aqueduct
Sol
The highway is alive tonight
Re La Sim
Where it's headed everybody knows
La
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Sim La Sim
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Sim
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a
guy
Re Sim La
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
The ghost of Tom Joad
Bruce Springsteen
La
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in
the air
Sim La Sim
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Sim
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to
stand
Re Sim La
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand
La
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Sim La Sim
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
Sol
Well the highway is alive tonight
Re La Sim
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
La
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Sim La Sim
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
