The Ghost Of Tom Joad Do Re Mi

	  		Intro: Bm  (x7) 

Verse: 1 
Bm 
  Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks 
D                       Bm       A 
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back 
A 
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge 
    Bm                  Em       Bm 
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge 

Bm 
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner 
D                        A 
Welcome to the new world order 
A 
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest 
   Bm             A        Bm 
No home no job no peace no rest 

tabchorus
G The highway is alive tonight D A Bm Where it's headed everybody knows A Sittin' down here in the campfire light Bm A Bm Awaitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

Verse: 2 D G D Lots of people out here east, they say G A Leavin' home most ev'ry day Beatin' the hot old dusty way G D To the California line D G 'Cross the desert sands they roll A getting out of that old dust bowl G And they think they're going to a sugar bowl D Here's what they find A E A The police at the port of entry say "You're number fourteen thousand for today."
tabchorus
D Oh if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys A If you ain't got the do-re-mi Well you'd better go back to beautiful Texas G D Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

Verse: 3 D California is a garden of Eden G It's a paradise to live in or see D A But believe it or not G You won't find it so hot A Bm D Bm If you ain't got the do-re-mi Verse: 4 Bm Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy D Bm A Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries A Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air Bm A Bm Look for me Tom I'll be there Bm Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand D Bm A Or decent job or a helpin' hand A Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free Bm A Bm Look for me Ma you'll see me."
tabchorus
G The highway is alive tonight D A Bm Where it's headed everybody knows A Sittin' down here in the campfire light Bm A Bm Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joad G The highway is alive tonight D A Bm Where it's headed everybody knows A Sittin' down here in the campfire light Bm A Bm Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joad
