Intro
 
Bm                                        A 
For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman 
D 
I made my living with a pen and a pad 
Bm                                          A                
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands 
 
Verse:  
 
Bm                                          A 
Been back from the desert for a year or so 
D 
Left more in the sand then you'll ever know 
Bm                                             B                                   D 
Another war's waiting for me when I got back home 
 
 
Bridge:
 
F#m                                        G 
In the name of the flags one gave their lives 
D                                            G 
I'm still living yeah Semper Fi 
G                         Em            G 
Well that's my story, what else can I say 
 
Hey hey 
 
 
 
 
D                                 A 
I got a lot to give so can't you see 
Bm                                       G 
I'm still breathing an my heart still beats 
D                                       A 
They took the car but they left the lease 
Bm                                G 
Does anybody want what's left of me 
 
 
(bridge, same chords) 
 
Boarding up the house they left the keys 
For growing on my city rolled up these streets 
I ain't checking out I still got my dreams 
Does anybody want what's left of me Hey hey 
 
(verse, same chords) 
They called us dirty Harry, we're a punk rock band 
When it's sold off CBGB's I don't understand 
All that's left now are the t-shirts and the comp' for a good plan 
 
(bridge) 
I sold my drums to make ends meet 
The band broke up, we had to eat 
It's the same old shit, it happens more these days, 
Hey hey 
 
 
D                                 A 
I got a lot to give so can't you see 
Bm                                       G 
I'm still breathing an my heart still beats 
D                                       A 
They took the car but they left the lease 
Bm                                G 
Does anybody want what's left of me 
 
 
Boarding up the house they left the keys 
For growing on my city rolled up these streets 
I ain't checking out I still got my dreams 
Does anybody want what's left of me Hey Hey 
 
(Solo, same chords as chorus) 
 
 
Well I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man 
It's getting harder to make a living on this hard land 
We ain't working in our factories all these jobs went overseas 
 
(palm mute) (D    A    Bm     G   )  (2x)
Does anybody want, Does anybody want 
Does anybody want what's left of me 
 
 
I got a lot to give so can't you see 
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats 
They took the car but they left the lease 
Does anybody want what's left of me 
Does anybody want to buy or rent 
Take the chance or place a bet 
I ain't checking out I still got my dreams 
Does anybody want what's left of me Hey Hey 
 
Does anybody want Does anybody want 
Does anybody want what's left of me Hey Hey 
 
Does anybody want does anybody want 
Does anybody want what's left of me
