 INTRO   Am     G     Am      G

 Everyone claim, That them are the chief 
      G                 G 
 The rich man buy, The poor man life 
      G                        G 
 The poor man take away, The beggar mans wife

 The children will be free to come over 
   C                    D            C 
 Singing and dancing, Ready to take over 
G            G                    G 
 Have some faith, Have a little faith,    Yeah, Yeah
