G  A      B 
A hungry boy 
G     A           B       C 
In a town of one hundred more

 The food is out the door

Make me want to help myself, help myself 

   A     C 
A river red 
G        A        B           C 
Pouring from the side of his head 
G         A           C     B 
A bullet through the brain 
G         A    B 
Make him feel different today

Well that suits me well 
G    A                    B        C       G  A B C       G   A B D 
Big house, big yard, help myself, help myself,    help myself 


 
G      A          C 
Every once in a while 
    G        A             B 
To help the helpless comes into style 
G    A           B   G 
The mercy mercy mile 
   A       Bm              G   A B  C      G   A B
