[Verse 1]
[G]You [D]hear [C]eve[G]ry [D]day[G][D]
how they're go[C]ing [G]away,
I guess they just [D]don't under[G]stand.[D]
The [G]singer is the [D]voice of the [G]people,
and his [A]song is the soul of our [D]land.
[C]So, singer, please [D]stay and [C]don't go away
[G]With so man[D]y words to be sai[G]d
[D]For a [G]land without [D]song
can't [C]stand very long
[G]When the voice of its peo[D]ple is dea[G]d
Oh, singer, you [D]must search
for your [C]place on the earth
[G]While the same for your natio[D]n is true
[G]So [D]lif[G]t up the[D] soul of you[G]r country
And [A]a place will be found here for [D]you
But [C]don't go and run
[D]till your son[C]g has been sung[G]
And the words of [D]your soul have been said
[G]For[D] a lan[G]d without son[D]g
can't [C]stand very long
[G]When the voice of [D]its people
is [G]dead[D][C][G][D][G]
You may pile up your [D]gold,
but [C]the pride of your soul
[G]Is the small bit of hop[D]e you bes[G]tow
[D]On the chi[G]ldren who[D] come
this way tomor[G]row
In [A]search of the right way to [D]go
So, [C]singers, sing [D]on like the [C]first ray of dawn
[G]With your promise of day[D] just ahead
[G]For[D] the lan[G]d without son[D]g
can't [C]stand very long
[G]When the voice of [D]its people is dea[G]d
Oh, I hear [D]every day how
they're go[C]ing away
[G]I guess they just don[D]'t understa[G]nd
[D]The sing[G]er [D]is the voice of the [G]people
And his [A]song is the soul of our [D]land
[C]So, singer, please [D]stay and [C]don't go away
[G]With so man[D]y words to be said
[G]For[D] a lan[G]d without son[D]g
can't [C]stand very long
[G]When the voice of its peo[D]ple is dea[G]d
When the voice [D]of its people is [G]dead
And the voice [D]of its people is [G]dead
And the voice of his [D]people is [G]dead.
