[Intro]
Am
Ooohh
[Verse]
GFDmG
The doubt of work sends the out of work man, To city a hope and a home
AmGFDmG
When one door shuts here a-nother two slam, Yes he's homeless he's hopeless alone
AmGFDmG
Row upon row of castles in Spain, make up a fool's para-dise
AmGFDmG
The still born brainchild of a man with no brain, The ballot box baby that died
[Chorus]
CFGDmF
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us the world
CFGDmFAm
(In Hooverville), yes they promised us the world (Crying for the moon)
[Verse]
AmGFDmG
Now dirty faced children sit in the road, in the shanty town shacks they call home
AmGFDmG
The comfort of knowing they won't be there long, Is the only comfort they know.
AmGFDmG
A young scream a young dream is lost in the night, Along with the young will to live,
AmGFDmG
Along with the masses, that gave up the fight, A fight for a reason to live,
[Chorus]
CFGDmF
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us the world
CFGDmF
(In Hooverville), said the streets were paved with silver and gold
CFGDmF
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us a roof above our heads
CFGDmFAm
(In Hooverville), And like fools we believed every last word they said (Crying for the moon)
[Bridge]
AmFGDmAmFGDm
and they promised us the wo-rld, and they promised us a roof above our heads
AmFCG
and they promised us the wo-rld and like fools we believed every last word they said
[Instrumental]
CFGFGCFGFG
(I believed every last word you say...)
[Chorus]
CFGDmF
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us the world
CFGDmF
(In Hooverville), said the streets were paved with silver and gold
CFGDmF
(Oh Hooverville), and they promised us a roof above our heads
CFGDmFAm
(In Hooverville), And like fools we believed every last word they said (Crying for the moon)
[Outro]
CFAmDmFG
Their hope is so high, when they arrive, Their hope is their only po-ssession in life (Crying for the moon)
CFAmDmFCFAmDmAm
Another man dies, another man cries, Mr Poli-tician open up you e-y-es open up your eyes (Crying for the moon)
AmFGDmAmFCGCFGFC
Oh oh oooooh ooooh You took the whole of my life mmm hmmm mmm all of it I'm not living (Fade)
