[Verso 1]
 
D                                     G 
A homeless man sits on the shopping street 
A                                 D 
Holding out his hands to everyone he meets 
Bm                                 G 
He asks for some change, a bite to eat 
         D                        A 
But every face just passes, no one sees 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D                                G 
A little child begs tables in a crowded place 
A                             D 
Hungry eyes searching every strangers face 
Bm                            G 
Asking softly for a piece of bread 
         D                             A 
But hes pushed away, the door is shut instead

[Verso 3]
 
D                               G 
A well-dressed old man on the platform stands 
A                            D 
Searching trash cans with shaking Hands 
D Bm                     G 
Bottle after bottle, head held low 
D                 A 
No one notices, no one wants to know

D                               G 
An elderly woman waits in the food line slow 
A                                      D 
Though she worked hard her whole life, this we know 
Bm                  G 
Years of labor, strength and pride 
 D                    A 
Now she stands here, cast aside
