Tom Rush       I'd Like To Know   wrritten by Woodie Guthrie 

C                     F          C

Why do your warships  ride on my waters
C                       D7            G7
Why do these bombs fall down from the sky
C                  F            C        
Why do you burn my towns and my cities
C                 G7          C
I'd like to know  I'd like to know
C                        F           C
I'd like to know friend  I'd like to know
C                      D7     G7  
Hungry lips ask me wherever I go
C                     F       C     
Comrades and friends  fallen around me
C                 G7         C
I'd like to know I'd like to know
    C                     F           C
You locked me in jail you threw me in prison
C                          D7         G7
Your hospital packed your asylums are full
C                   F           C
Where is my food my soap and my warm clothes
C                 G7          C 
I'd like to know  I'd like to know
C                         F           C
Why are your warships all death to my people
C                D7          G7   
Nitro explosives cannons and bombs
C                       F           C
Where have you taken my sons and my daughters
C                G7          C 
I'd like to know I'd like to know
