Salt Of the earth
(The Rolling Stones)


E    B             E           A E (repeat)

lets drink to the hard working people

lets drink to the lowly of birth

raise your glass to the good and the evil

lets drink to the salt of the earth

(mick sings the rest)

spare a thought for his back breaking work

say a prayer for his wife and his children

who burn the fires and who still till the earth



(E A) (E A) (E A) (E) (E)

C#m                 G#m     (repeat)

F#m

G#m

and a parade of the gray suited grafters

a choice of cancer or polio



and when i...



lets drink to the hard working people

lets think of the lowly of birth

spare a thought for the rag taggy people

lets drink to the salt of the earth



lets drink to the hard working people

lets drink to the salt of the earth

lets think of the two thousand million

lets think of the humble of birth
