Intro:
A � E/A � D/A � A

Esus4 E      Em7       Am
Come  to the din-ner gong
       Em/A   A7          Dm7
The ta-ble is lad-en high
    D            C/D
Fat bel-lies and hun-gry little ones
                   F     A    E/A     E
Tuck your napkins in and take your share

Esus4 E       Em7
Some  get the gra-vy
Am       Em/A     A7
And some get  the gris-tle
Dm7      D       C/D
    Some get the mar-row bone
                  F
And some get noth- ing
               A    E/A  E       Esus4
Though there�s plen-ty  to spare

Em/A         Am    Em/A Am Em/A
I    took my share down by the  sea
   Am  Em/A   Am  Em/A                         Esus4
Pa-per plates and Ja- -vex bottles on the tide
         E                 Em7sus4          D/E
Seagulls come down and they       squawk at me
E            Esus4  E7sus4      D/E   F [Cmaj7/F  F � 3x]  F#m/B  Bm7
  Down where the  wa- - - ter ski- ers   glide

Esus4 E       Em7  Am
Some  turn to Je-sus
         Em/A    A7
And some turn to her-o-in
Dm7      D       C/D
    Some turn to ramb-ling �round
                      F
Looking for a clean sky
      A     E/A     E
And a drink-ing stream

Esus4 E         Em7        Am
Some  watch the paint peel off
     Em/A        A7
Some watch their kids grow up
Dm7      D           C/D
    Some watch their stocks and bonds
                    F       A   E/A   E       Esus4
Waiting for that big deal A-mer-i- -can dream

Em/A         Am    Em/A Am Em/A
I    took my dream down by the  sea
    Am  Em/A   Am  Em/A
Yan-kee yachts and lob- ster pots
                Esus4         E
And sunshine and     logs and sails
   Em7sus4          D/E
And       Shell Oil pails
E                 Esus4    D/E
Dogs and tugs and sum- mer-time

            F
Back in the ban-quet line
Cmaj7/F                 F#m/B
An- - -gry young people cry- ing

Esus4 E       Em7      Am
�Who  let the greed-y in
        Em/A     A7
And who left the need-y out?
Dm7     D         C/D
    Who made this salt-y
                             F
Tell �em we�re very hungry now
      A     E/A   E
For a sweet-er  fare�


In the cookie I read,
Esus4 E       Em7
�Some get the gra-vy
Am       Em/A     A7
And some get  the gris-tle
Dm7      D       C/D
    Some get the mar-row bone
   Em/A         Am   F
And    some get noth- ing
               A    E/A   B        D/B  E/B  Esus4/B  E/B  Bm7  B
Though there�s plen-ty  to spare�
