There But For Fortune
(Phil Ochs)

CAmCAmC
Show me the prison, show me the jail, Show me
AmGG7
the prisoner who's life has gone stale.
[chorus]:
    CAm
    And I'll show you a young man, With so
    FGC
    many reasons why. There but for
    AmGG7C
    fortune go you and I, you and I.
CAmCAmC
Show me the alley, show me the train, Show me
AmGG7
the hobo who sleeps out in the rain.
[chorus]
CAmCAmC
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor, Show me
AmGG7
the drunkard as he stumbles out the door.
     
[chorus]
CAmCAm
Show me the country where the bombs had to fall.
CAmGG7
Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall.
[chorus]
