Biography:
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

D
As you know
Verse 2
D G D
Well, we rise up early in the morning and we work all day real hard

Verse 4
D G D
Well, the folks in town they dress so fine and spend their money free
Bm G D/F# G D/F# A D
But they would hardly look at a factory hand who dresses like you or me
D G D
Would you let them wear their watches fine let them wear their gems and pearly strings
Bm G D/F# G D/F# A D
But when that day of judgement comes they'll have to share their pretty things
