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!'

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
