Last Of The Protest Singers

Open: D
              
          D
He's the last of the protest singers

  Em
Selling truth and commitment

F#m
He don't get much work these days

 G                  A
He's billed as a novelty act


         D 
And he stands there with his thumb out

  Em
Hitchin' a ride towards the rainbow

     F#m
That only he sees shining there

      G                    A
They say he's a fool and that's a fact.

    G       A       Bm          F#m     Em - A - Em - A
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


              D
Yes he's the last of the protest singers

       Em
But somehow I believe him

       F#m
As he strums on cold street corners singing

 G                    A
It's what I say, not what I am.


 D
Late at night I hold him

     Em
He shivers and hides his crying

                 F#m
And says, "Should I just play some Rock 'n Roll

         G             A
'cause nobody really gives a damn?"

    G       A       Bm          F#m     Em - A 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


         Em                A
I said "That's really not good enough

                  Em                     A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!"

             Em               A
And I say "That's really not good enough

                  Em                     A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!"


              Bb         F      C      F      C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore."

              Bb         F      C      F      C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore."

              Bb         F       C       F          C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before."

              G                  A                Bm   A   G - F#m - Em - A - Em - A
He says, "I can't believe it's really true. Don't you care anymore?"


              D
Yes he's the last of the protest singers

  Em
Staring as he's strumming

       F#m
For he sees the dark clouds coming now

        G                    A
And he says he feels those first few drops

    D
He sees he can not reach them

        Em
But he tries to sing out louder

      F#m
And I say, "You're getting hoarser boy."

    G                   A
He says, "Should I give up and stop?"

    G       A       Bm          F#m     Em - A 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


            Em                A
And I say "That's really not good enough

                  Em                     A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff"

             Em               A
And I say "That's really not good enough

                  Em                     A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!"


              Bb         F      C      F      C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore."

              Bb         F      C      F      C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore."

              Bb         F       C       F          C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before."

              G                  A                Bm   A   G - F#m - Em - A - Em - A
