Harry Chapin

Last Of The Protest Singers

by Harry Chapin
Harry Chapin

Biography:

Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

D
He's the last of the protest singers

Em
Selling truth and commitment

F#m
He don't get much work these days

G A
He's billed as a novelty act


D
And he stands there with his thumb out

Em
Hitchin' a ride towards the rainbow

F#m
That only he sees shining there

G A
They say he's a fool and that's a fact.

G A Bm F#m Em - A - Em - A
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


D
Yes he's the last of the protest singers

Em
But somehow I believe him

F#m
As he strums on cold street corners singing

G A
It's what I say, not what I am.


D
Late at night I hold him

Em
He shivers and hides his crying

F#m
And says, "Should I just play some Rock 'n Roll

G A
'cause nobody really gives a damn?"

G A Bm F#m Em - A
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Em A
I said "That's really not good enough

Em A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!"

Em A
And I say "That's really not good enough

Em A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!"


Bb F C F C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore."

Bb F C F C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore."

Bb F C F C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before."

G A Bm A G - F#m - Em - A - Em - A
He says, "I can't believe it's really true. Don't you care anymore?"


D
Yes he's the last of the protest singers

Em
Staring as he's strumming

F#m
For he sees the dark clouds coming now

G A
And he says he feels those first few drops

D
He sees he can not reach them

Em
But he tries to sing out louder

F#m
And I say, "You're getting hoarser boy."

G A
He says, "Should I give up and stop?"

G A Bm F#m Em - A
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Em A
And I say "That's really not good enough

Em A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff"

Em A
And I say "That's really not good enough

Em A
Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!"


Bb F C F C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore."

Bb F C F C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore."

Bb F C F C
And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before."
