[Verse 1]
As I saw through [D]the
eyes of [A]Portland one [D]day
There were [A]so many homeless,
they'd [G]all gone [D]astray
They slept on [A]the corners during [D]the day
As [Bm]not to be harmed
[A]whe[G]n the sun went away
[D]

[Verse 2]
There were old ones and young ones,
[A]white ones and [D]black
They were [A]all shapes and sizes
with [G]rags on their [D]backs
So many people mixed [A]up in this [D]stew
[Bm]With no place to go and [G]nothing [D]to do

[Verse 3]
[D]
[G]All of these homeless,
where [D]do they come from?
In this [A]land of plenty where
[G]nothing [D]gets done
To help those who are empty
and un[A]able to [D]run
[A]Your tears and prayers won't help
[D]the homeless

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
Some are mentally [D]ill,
some are [A]higher than [D]kites
[A]Selling their bodies as [G]day
turn[D]s to night
Where are their loved ones,
does [A]anyone [D]care?
To be [Bm]lost and alone
[D]in [G]the middle of now[D]here

[Verse 5]
[G]All of these homeless,
where [D]do they come from?
In this [A]land of plenty where
[G]nothing [D]gets done
To help those who are empty
and un[A]able to [D]run
Your [A]tears and prayers won't help [D]the
[C]homeless

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][D][C]
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[D]What will it take for this country to see
For the [A]grace of God go they
and [G]not [D]you and me
The fallen and forgotten,
who are down on their [A]knees
[Bm]Living here [D]in the gutters
in this [G]land of the [D]free

[Verse 7]
[D]
[G]All of these homeless,
[D]where do they come from?
In this [A]land of plenty where
[G]nothing [D]gets done
To help those who are empty
and un[Asus4]able to run[D]
Your [A]tears and prayers
won't help the [D]homeless
[A]Your tears and prayers won't
help [D]the [A]hom[D]eless
