Artist : The Dear Hunter
Song : The Haves Have Naught
Verse :
Ab Fm Ab Fm
Just look at that shopkeeper peddling his wares
B Cm B Cm
Shouting his sales pitch, but nobody cares
Ab Fm Ab Fm
Don’t you wonder what keeps him there, day after day,
B Cm B Cm
Begging for gold as his hair turns to gray?
Interlude : Bb Fm
Chorus :
Ebm Db B
Blindly they’re bounding apace,
Ebm Db B
Starving for mercy in a merciless place
Bbm Abm Eb
Only a fool would make martyrs from heathens
Bbm Abm Eb
And find them so lively when they’re barely breathing
Abm7 Eb
Just barely breathing
Interlude : Ab Fm Ab Fm B Cm
Verse :
Ab Fm Ab Fm
Just look at that toymaker grinding his gears
B Cm B Cm
Turning no profit but he doesn’t care
Ab Fm Ab Fm
He keeps smiles on faces and, day after day,
B Cm B Cm
The children keep sadness and suffering at bay
Interlude : Bb Fm
Chorus :
Ebm Db B
Blissfully bounding apace
Ebm Db B
Searching for mercy in a merciless place
Bbm Abm Eb
Only a monster makes fodder from saints
Bbm Abm Eb
And finds them so worthless when they’re full of grace
Abm7 Eb
So full of grace…
Bridge :
B
But what better use of hookers and thieves
Db Bbm
Than greasing the wheels of perfect machines that hum into life a harmony of industry
Abm7
But what is the use of cutting them down,
Abm7
To smother and choke the souls of our town?
Eb
I know there is another way…
B
But, what is so wrong with giving them purpose?
(Just how could you weed them out?)
(Degrading them without a doubt)
Db
A man like yourself could give worth to the worthless
(You’re bleeding them dry)
Bbm Abm7
(They live and die like you and I )
Abm7
Without the guidance of rulers and tyrants
( and under your guidance, the hands of a tyrant)
B Eb
These people will just tear themselves apart
(They’ll just tear themselves apart)
Verse :
Ab Fm Ab Fm
Just look at that charlatan steeped in deceit
B Cm B Cm
A threat to the young, to the old and the meek
Ab Fm Ab Fm
Don’t you wonder what made him so vicious, so sick
B Cm
So far out of balance,
B Cm
So cruel and so callous,
B Cm
So married to malice?
