Breadwinner Blues

Breadwinner Blues
by Dave Robinson, 27 May 2024 [Blues in any key]
verse 1
did your E ego take a bruise, when you read the sunday news
were you E caught up in a ruse .. when you took the road you choose
well you A7 better not blow a fuse, because in life there’s no excuse
you can E go on a luxury cruise, you’re still gonna wait in queues
when B7 noah built the ark the animals A7 entered in two by two
E try to walk a mile in my shoe, I’ve B7 got the breadwinner blues .. E …
verse 2
one E doomsday prophesy have a global consequence
y’all E make your policy on anti-semite sentiments
A7 hey there philistine, you went and cooked your golden goose
when you E refuse to sign the truce now cousin david’s gonna choose
I’m B7 just as dazed and confused .. as all the A7 people in the pews
we E all now stand accused .. we B7 got the breadwinner blues .. E …
reprise
well G whatever you did and wherever you went, if you found yourself there it will be where you were sent
the C world will keep on turnin’ and life ain’t always fair
there’s no G need to feel ashamed, if you get trapped in a stormwater drain
you gotta C look out for the lesson, not someone else to blame
in the Am end we’re only a victim of our C own pain .. and there’s G little point to share it ..
and it’s Am only when you wear it that you C gain .. so it’s G best you grin and bear it
Am enjoy the rain .. that’s why I C choose to be amused .. by them G breadwinner blues … Am ..

The reference to doomsday adds a dark twist to the narrative #doomsday
