Intro: Am   C   Dm   G 


verse 1 
     F             C 
The mother of the outlaw 
Dm                                   Am 
   Thinks about the time he had the mumps 
           F           C 
And she's really very sorry 
Dm 
   And she hopes this has nothing to do 
          Am 
With the way she brought him up 
         F               C 
And the outlaw he lies wounded 
Dm                               Am 
   As the doctor gives the police sergeant a nod 
         F                 C 
And the last words he was saying 
Dm                         G 
   Something about I do believe in God 



[Refrão]
 
    Am              Dm 
And who divides the oceans 
G                                C 
   When a generation's lost its place 
    Am            Dm 
And who sets the motion 
G          Gsus4 G 
   Of the human race 


verse 2 
         F              C 
And the sister of the prostitute 
Dm                              Am 
   She's trying to find the right way to love 
       F                           C 
Cause when it gets down to make a living 
Dm                                    Am 
   These days it's pretty hard for a girl to get it up 
         F                     C 
And the romance on her street corner 
Dm                         Am 
   He rides around in Eldorado fame 
     F                  C 
And lately she's been thinking 
Dm                                          G 
   That what she's been seeing in the movies just ain't the same 



[Refrão]
 
    Am              Dm 
And who divides the oceans 
G                                C 
   When a generation's lost its place 
    Am            Dm 
And who sets the motion 
G          Gsus4 G 
   Of the human race

verse 3 
         F                  C 
And the legless Vietnam survivor 
Dm                        Am 
  He's trying to find a job or a wife 
       F                        C 
Cause he can't find peace with honor 
Dm                                Am 
   As he gets conditioned to his wheelchair life 
         F                     C 
And the killers still run the country 
Dm                                        Am 
   And they count their money with their bloodstained hands 
     F                 C 
And lately I've been thinking 
Dm                      G 
   Maybe it s time we really took a stand 



[Refrão]
 
    Am              Dm 
And who divides the oceans 
G                                C 
   When a generation's lost its place 
    Am            Dm 
And who sets the motion 
G          Gsus4 G 
   Of the human race
