[Intro]
Am C G x2
Am C
[Verse 1]
G C
The hungry man knows who's to blame, the city boys who know no shame
G C
Justify the things they do with ugly, callous attitude
G C
Wind of change it howls outside and makes my pony terrified
G C
Greensward in the dust and gloom lies dormant in the afternoon
[Chorus]
Am G D
A hungry man knows what it means
Am G D
He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams
C D
And it's all in a life's work
C Am G
All in a life's work
[Break]
Am C G
Am C
[Verse 2]
G C
The suitcase left unopened where the ravaged huddled in despair
G C
Sit head in hands in dread pursuit of any lie that hints at truth
G C
The common saviour, so it goes with hyped-up children in repose
G C
And satisfaction that it cost, the lucky man, the taxman lost
[Chorus]
Am G D
A hungry man knows what it means
Am G D
He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams
C D
And it's all in a life's work
C Am
All in a life's work
[Solo]
G C x2
Am G D x2
[Part-chorus]
D C D
It's all in a life's work
C Am G
All in a life's work

Am C G
Am C
[Verse 3]
G C
Who knows where the river flows? It wanders on, and on it goes
G C
Who sees where the companies and lines of men fall to their knees?
G C
The country doctor rambles on in Dylan's dream where life is song
G C
Many times you'd kneel and pray, the big battalions stay away
[Chorus]
Am G D
A hungry man knows what it means
Am G D
He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams
C D
And it's all in a life's work
C Am
All in a life's work
[Break]
Am C G
Am C D
[Part-chorus]
D C D
It's all in a life's work
C Am G
All in a life's work
[Outro]
