...THE WORLD ISN'T FAIR... by Randy Newman
--------------------------................
*from 'Bad Love' (1999)*
Verse 1:
Dm Am Bb
When Karl Marx were a boy,
F C7 F
He took a hard look a-round.
Am7b5 D7
He saw people were starving,
Gm Gm/D
All over the place,
C7 C7+ F
While others were painting the town.
Verse 2:
F Gm7 F
The public spirited boy,
F/C C7 F
Became a public spirited man.
Dm Am
So he worked very hard,
Bb F/A
And he read everything,
G7 C
Un-til he came up with a plan.
Bridge 1:
F A7 Dm
There'll be no exploi-tation,
Dm F7 Bdim7
Of the worker or his kin.
Dm A7 Dm
No dis-crimi-nation,
Bb E A7
'Cos the colour of your skin.
Dm Bbdim7 Bdim7 G#dim7
No more private proper-ty,
Bbdim7 Bdim7 G#dim7
Private proper-ty,
Adim7 F#dim7 C7
It would not be allo-wed;
C#
No one could rise too high,
F
No one could sink too low,
F Bb
Or go under com-pletely,
G7 C
Like some we all know.
Verse 3:
F Gm7 F
If Marx were living to-day,
F C7 F
He'd be rolling a-round in his grave.
Dm Am
And if I had him here,
Bb F/A
In my mansion on the hill,
Dm Am
I'd tell him a story;
Bb F/A
T'would give his old heart a chill.
G7 C
It's something that happened to me.
Break:
Ab B F
I'd say, Karl I recently stumbled,
Ab B F
Into a new fami-ly.
C# E Bb
With two little children in school,
C# G7 C
Where all little children should be.
Ab B F
I went to the orien-tation,
Ab B F
All the young mommies were there.
Verse 4:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/randy-newman/96467.html ]
Dm Am
Karl, you never have seen,
Bb F/A
Such a glorious sight,
Dm Am/C
As these beautiful women,
Bb F
Ar-rayed for the night.
C# Ab
Just like Countesses, Empresses,
Bbm/F F/C
Movie stars and queens.
G7
And they'd come there with,
C
With men much like me;
F C Bb C
Froggish men, un-pleasant to see.
C#
Were you to kiss one, Karl;
Bb C7 F
Merry a prince would there be.
Chorus 1:
Dm Bb7 F
See Karl, the world isn't fair,
Bb E F
It isn't and never will be.
Gm7 F
They tried out your plan;
Bb F
It brought misery in-stead.
Gm7 F
If you'd seen how they worked it,
Bb F
You'd be glad you were dead.
Bb F
Just like I'm glad I'm living,
Bb F
In the land of the free,
Bb F/C
Where the rich just get richer,
Bb A7 Dm
And the poor you don't ever have to see.
Gdim
It would de-press us, Karl,
F/C
Because we care,
Fdim C7 F
That the world still isn't...fair.
Outro:
F Gm7 F, F C, F
