There But For Fortune - Joan Baez

I ved det sikkert allerede, men jeg har først lige fundet ud af det at det ikke er Kim der har skrevet there but for fortune, men bare har lavet teksten om.

There But For Fortune (Joan Baez): C Am C Am C Am F G7 C Am F Dm G Am F G7 C
(verse 1) Show me a prison // show me a jail // Show me a prisoner // whose face has gone pale // And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why // There but for fortune, go you or I.
(verse 2) Show me the whisky stains on the floor // Show me the drunken man as he stumbles out the door // And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why // There but for fortune, go you or I
(verse 3) Show me the country where the bombs had to fall, // Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall, // And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why // There but for fortune, go you or I – you and I.

Ikke Joan Baez, men Phil Ochs

Det var ikke Joan Baez der skrev den, men Phil Ochs.

There but for Fortune
by Phil Ochs

Intro: G Cm G Cm G Cm

G Cm G Cm
Show me a prison, show me a jail,

G Em Am D
Show me a prisoner whose face has gone pale

Em C Am
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
Bm G Am D
And there but for fortune, may go you or I

Show me the alley, show me the train,
Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain,
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, may go you or go I -- you and I.

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor,
Show me the dunken man as he stumbles out the door,
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, may go you or go I -- you and I.

[Extra verse... written by Noel Paul Stookey]
Show me the famine, show me the frail
Eyes with no future that show how we failed
And I'll show you the children with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I.

Show me the country where bombs had to fall,
Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall,
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go I -- you and I.
You and I,
There but for fortune, go you or go I -- you and I.

Re: There But For Fortune - Joan Baez

Notes:
Phil's comments about this song from Sing Out:

"Based on the saying, 'There but for the grace of God,' the song was written while driving to Lincoln, Nebraska. This is one of the few cases in which I had the melody written first and was able to write the words in less than ten minutes.

"Living on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, I am constantly reminded of the meaning of the song. The original lyrics were improved through the comments of Jean Ray of the singing group, Jim and Jean."

There are some live records of Phil introducing this song as being written by Joan Baez... this is a joke; Phil did write it.
