Dm So he worked, Am Very hard, Bb And he read, F/A Everything G7 Un-til he came, C Up with a plan. Bridge 1: F There'll be, A7 Dm No exploi-tation, Dm Of the worker, F7 Bdim7 Or his kin. Dm A7 Dm No dis-crimi-nation, Bb 'Cos the colour, E A7 Of your skin. Dm No more, Bbdim7 Bdim7 G#dim7 Private proper-ty, Adim7 It would not, F#dim7 C7 Be allo-wed; C# No one could, Rise too high, No one could, F Sink too low, F Or go under, Bb Com-pletely like, G7 C Some we all know. Verse 3: F If Marx were, Gm7 F Living to-day, F He'd be rolling, C7 F A-round in his grave. Dm And if I, Am Had him here, Bb In my mansion, F/A On the hill, Dm I'd tell him, Am a story; Bb T'would give his, F/A Old heart a chill. G7 It's something, C That happened to me. Break: Ab I'd say, Karl B F I recently stumbled, Ab B F Into a new fami-ly. C# With two little, E Bb Children in school, C# Where all little, G7 C Children should be.

Verse 4: Dm Karl, you never, Am Have seen such, Bb F/A A glorious sight, Dm As these beautiful, Am/C Bb Women ar-rayed, F For the night. C# Just like countesses, Ab Empresses, Bbm/F Movie stars, F/C And queens, And they'd, G7 Come there with, C Men much like me; F C Froggish men, Bb C Un-pleasant to see. Were you to, C# Kiss one, Karl; Bb C7 Merry a prince, F Would there be. Chorus 1: Dm See Karl, Bb7 F The world isn't fair, Bb It isn't and, E F Never will be. Gm7 They tried, F Out your plan; It brought, Bb F Misery in-stead. Gm7 If you'd seen, F How they worked it, Bb You'd be glad, F You were dead. Bb Just like I'm glad, F I'm living in, Bb F The land of the free, Bb Where the rich, F/C Just get richer, Bb And the poor, A7 You don't ever, Dm Have to see. It would, Gdim De-press us, Karl F/C Because we care, Fdim That the world, C7 Still isn't... F Fair.
