Last Of The Protest SingersCifra

Open: D 
               
          D 
He's the last of the protest singers 

  Em 
Selling truth and commitment 

F#m 
He don't get much work these days 

 G                  A 
He's billed as a novelty act 


         D  
And he stands there with his thumb out 

  Em 
Hitchin' a ride towards the rainbow 

     F#m 
That only he sees shining there 

      G                    A 
They say he's a fool and that's a fact. 

    G       A       Bm          F#m     Em - A - Em - A 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 


              D 
Yes he's the last of the protest singers 

       Em 
But somehow I believe him 

       F#m 
As he strums on cold street corners singing 

 G                    A 
It's what I say, not what I am. 


 D 
Late at night I hold him 

     Em 
He shivers and hides his crying 

                 F#m 
And says, 'Should I just play some Rock 'n Roll 

         G             A 
'cause nobody really gives a damn?' 

    G       A       Bm          F#m     Em - A  
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 


         Em                A 
I said 'That's really not good enough 

                  Em                     A 
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!' 

             Em               A 
And I say 'That's really not good enough 

                  Em                     A 
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!' 


              Bb         F      C      F      C 
And he says, 'I can't believe nobody cares anymore.' 

              Bb         F      C      F      C 
And he says, 'I can't believe nobody shares anymore.' 

              Bb         F       C       F          C 
And he says, 'I can't believe nobody's there like before.' 

              G                  A                Bm   A   G - F#m - Em - A - Em - A 
He says, 'I can't believe it's really true. Don't you care anymore?' 


              D 
Yes he's the last of the protest singers 

  Em 
Staring as he's strumming 

       F#m 
For he sees the dark clouds coming now 

        G                    A 
And he says he feels those first few drops 

    D 
He sees he can not reach them 

        Em 
But he tries to sing out louder 

      F#m 
And I say, 'You're getting hoarser boy.' 

    G                   A 
He says, 'Should I give up and stop?' 

    G       A       Bm          F#m     Em - A  
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 


            Em                A 
And I say 'That's really not good enough 

                  Em                     A 
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff' 

             Em               A 
And I say 'That's really not good enough 

                  Em                     A
