Well, I read a story 
                 G     C 
About a man in a room 
                     G          C 
I guess he spoke his mind, but 
                     G     C  G-D 
I guess he spoke too soon 
                             C

Took my place at the back of 
                 G     C  G-D 
The unemployment line 
                C 
Standing like a statue___

Deaf dumb and blind

Deaf dumb and blind
