D
The assembly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow
        G                             A
but the bills kept pooring in, me and beck took it on the chin
        D
And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel
G
She had enough at last
A
of these modern grapes of wrath

Chorus:
G                                   D
Saddam Huessien still has a job but I don't
G                                         A
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
              D
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
       G
with a sign that reads will work for food
    Em                 G                             A
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
           G                 A                 D
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire

It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hopehonest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans
Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that keeps me warm Its still hard to belive
This could ever happen to me

wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
