Once the the shops were filled with things that i could buy,

Bb Eb
Don`t suppose they`re gonna drop gotta get used to the charity shop,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Verse 2]
Bb F Bb
Seems like only yesterday food was so cheap,
F
Now the cost of eating goes up every week,
Bb Eb
So you search for the best deals have to miss out on some meals,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.

Make that first foot on the ladder they all say,
N.C
But on what i`m earning they no there`s no way,
Bb Eb
Ain`t no bankers gonna lend they all got bonus`s to spend,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Verse 4]
Bb F Bb
Council housing`s something i will never get,
F
Put my name down on the list i`m waiting yet,

Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Verse 7]
Bb F Bb
Keeping warm is something poor folk`s can not do,

Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?,
Bb F Bb
