  			          Dm        Am       A#          Dm 
There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains 
     Dm          Am     Dm 
On a wheel of perpetual motion 
    Dm            Am         A#        Dm 
Who belong to all races and answer all names 
         Dm     Am      Dm 
With no show of outward emotion 

         Dsus2         A                Dm 
And they think it will make their lives easier 
        Dsus2      A           Gm7 
But the doorway before them is barred 
        Dm         Am             Cm             Gm 
And the game never ends when your whole world depends 
       Dm         Am      Dm 
On the turn of a friendly card 
       Dm         Am             Cm             Gm 
No the game never ends when your whole world depends 
       Dm         Am      Dm 
On the turn of a friendly card
