IntroEm / Em7 / Em / Emadd9Em
Jimmy got nothing made himself a name
Em7
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
EmA smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Emadd9Am7
Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
Em
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Emadd9EmEmadd9
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Em
Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
Em7
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Em
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Emadd9
Just another hooker
Am7
It happens everyday
She loved her little baby
But she couldn't bear to see her living
EmEmadd9EmEmadd9
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Cmaj7Bm
I believe in the gods of America
Cmaj7Bm
I believe in the land of the free
Am7
But no one told me (No one told me)
Em
That the gods believe in nothing
D
So with empty hands I pray
Bm
And from day to hopeless day
Em
They still don't see me (See me)
