[A][D]

[Verse 1]
When [D]the train left
the station my [G]baby sat there cryin'
Sayin', [A]"Why we got to go, daddy,
down to Charlotte [D]town?
'Cause the road is long
and the [G]way is hard
[A]It's so peaceful in our [G]own back[D]yard
So why we got to go daddy?
[G]Why we goin' to go?
Just [D]give me [A]one good [D]reason
[A]why we got [D]to go"

[Verse 2]
[D]
Well, I said, "Honey you ain't
read your [G]little history book
[A]Better dust it off and take another [D]look
If the Democrats don't make it,
then [G]I'll have myself to blame
If [A]we don't raise some sand then
our votes might slip [D]away
And our civil rights [G]and our equal pay
And [D]then it's too bad, Jim,
[A]for the 90 and [D]the [A]9"
'Cause [D]this may be the

[Verse 3]
last time,
[G]I don't know
[A]I don't know, h[D]oney, I d[A]on't k[D]now
This may be the last [G]time, I don't know
It [D]may be the last time for [A]the 90 and [D]the 9

[Verse 4]
They promised war was done
[G]but peace didn't declare
[A]Our young folks are[D] still goi[A]ng the[D]re
I didn't raise our child to
[G]go to war this time
[A]Honey, they're just shooting
at the 90 and [D]the 9

[Verse 5]
And I can't un[A]derstand[D]
[G]when we're losin' jobs
[A]Why they go jackin' [D]up the price on gas
And when the moment's right
[G]the price will fall on time
[A]Honey, they're just jackin'
with the 90 and [D]the 9

[Verse 6]
Well, this may be the last time,
[G]I don't know
[A]I don't know, hon[D]ey, I don[A]'t kno[D]w
May be the last time, [G]I don't know
It [D]may be the last time for [A]the 90 and
[D]the[G][A]
[G][D][G][A][D][A]
[D]9

[Verse 7]
Now [A]yonder comes a brother
[D]on his way from town
[A]Let's make his acquaintance and
[D]then we'll sit right down
Say[Bm]in' how goes the battle,
what [F#m]news do you hear?
[Em]What's the circumstances for
[A]working folks 'round here?
Let's [D]have a cup of coffee,
[G]spend a pleasant time
We're [D]all paid- up members
[A]of the 90 and [D]the 9

[Verse 8]
Now [D]this may be the last time,
[G]I don't know
[A]I don't know b[D]ut I could be wrong
I wonder what would [G]brother Pete say
I [D]hope it's not the last time for [A]the 90 and
[D]the 9
