Hey Woody Guthrie I wish you could see how the
G D
highways roll by doors.
G D Bm
The internet highways, subways, skyways and
A D
nobody??s hitching no more.
D
When you??re rambling the hard times a gamble
G D
with minors and migrants of old.
G D Bm A D
When you walk the line, you spoke your mind telling stories that had to be told.
(Chorus)
G A D A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, we could sure
D
use you once more.
G A D Bm A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, the big dogs
D
are back at the door.
D
Pastures plenty and I??ve seen a many
G D
no faces appear at the door.
G D Bm A D
The fields are all empty and these pastures are muddy because farms aren??t for people no more.
D
Some are machines stealing away dream
G D
and genetics are the new golden doors.
G D Bm A D
But the crops that we??re breeding I??ll never feed the corporate shun or the poor.
(Chorus)
G A D A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, we could sure
D
use you once more.
G A D Bm A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, the big dogs
D
are back at the door.
(Solo)
D
As a whole generation that??s got no sensation
G D
of feeling part of it all.
G D Bm A D
No sense of land and the advertising man has got brand new logos for all.
D
There can be no denying that the farm fields are dying
G D
out here on suburbia's door
G D Bm A D
Seems it??s taken our souls, and we??re loosing control, Woody we need you once more.
(Chorus)
G A D A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, we could sure
D
use you once more.
G A D Bm A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, the big dogs
D
are back at the door.
G A D A
Out here on the golden shores
A D
Yeah the big dogs are back at the door.
