Intro: Am C Dm G
verse 1
F C
The mother of the outlaw
Dm Am
Thinks about the time he had the mumps
F C
And she's really very sorry
Dm
And she hopes this has nothing to do
Am
With the way she brought him up
F C
And the outlaw he lies wounded
Dm Am
As the doctor gives the police sergeant a nod
F C
And the last words he was saying
Dm G
Something about I do believe in God
Am Dm
And who divides the oceans
G C
When a generation's lost its place
Am Dm
And who sets the motion
G Gsus4 G
Of the human race
verse 2
F C
And the sister of the prostitute
Dm Am
She's trying to find the right way to love
F C
Cause when it gets down to make a living
Dm Am
These days it's pretty hard for a girl to get it up
F C
And the romance on her street corner
Dm Am
He rides around in Eldorado fame
F C
And lately she's been thinking
Dm G
That what she's been seeing in the movies just ain't the same
Am Dm
And who divides the oceans
G C
When a generation's lost its place
Am Dm
And who sets the motion
G Gsus4 G
Of the human race

verse 3
F C
And the legless Vietnam survivor
Dm Am
He's trying to find a job or a wife
F C
Cause he can't find peace with honor
Dm Am
As he gets conditioned to his wheelchair life
F C
And the killers still run the country
Dm Am
And they count their money with their bloodstained hands
F C
And lately I've been thinking
Dm G
Maybe it s time we really took a stand
Am Dm
And who divides the oceans
G C
When a generation's lost its place
Am Dm
And who sets the motion
G Gsus4 G
Of the human race
