Catie Curtis - Hole In The Bucket
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C
Am C F
I went down to the city and I found myself a job
Am C F
Working for the people who do need some helping out
Am C F
But then, in truth, I found there was so little left to give
C F
The government might save their lives, might not help them to live
CHORUS:
C
Well, there's a hole in the bucket and the people fall out
G C
There's money underground, but you can't get it out
F C
When you stand at the State House, smile, and say, "Please?"
Well, there's a crack in the floor and the people fall through
G C
And they wind up coming back to you
F C
From a place it seems like they can never leave
G Am C F C
Well, there's a hole in the system for the people in need
Am C F
How do you tell a woman who is 82 years old
Am C F
Poor and lying in her bed and needing help at home
Am C F
That there is no more money, there is nothing you can do
C F
Just hold on for a better year and we'll try to get to you
CHORUS:

Well, there's a hole in the bucket and the people fall out

INSTRUMENTAL: F Am C F C F Am C F C F C F C
Am C F
Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies and amber waves of grain
Am C F
America, you're beautiful, but you have got to change
Am C F
You think of how to save your skin, but you never mind the bones
C F
Have we become a country where the hearts have turned to stones?
CHORUS:
C
Well, there's a hole in the bucket and the people fall out
G C
There's money underground, but you can't get it out

When you stand at the Capitol, smile, and say, "Please?"
