  Salt of the Earth by Jagger and Richards
  
  -----------------
  
  (keith sings four lines)
  
  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)
  
  say a prayer for the common foot soldier
  
  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)
  
  and when i search a faceless crowd
  
  a swirling mass of gray and
  
  F#m
  
  black and white
  
  G#m
  
  they don't look real to me
  
  A                     B(7)
  
  in fact, they look so strange
  
  (B(7))
  
  
  
  raise your glass to the hard working people
  
  lets drink to the uncounted heads
  
  lets think of the wandering millions
  
  who need leaders but get gamblers instead
  
  
  
  spare a thought for the stay at home voter
  
  his empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
  
  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
