(Bbm7)Would you like to go with me

Now, (Bbm7)See the peo ple lock their doors
while (Bbm7)rob bers laugh and steal;
(Gb)beg gars watch and eat their meals

Now, (Bbm7)Chil dren play with rust ed cars;
while (Bbm7)sores cov er their hands.
(Gb)Pol i ti cians laugh and drink,
in (Ab)drunk lage all de mands.
(Ab)Vil lage ghet to (Ab7)land.
