He's the l[D]ast of the protest singers
Se[Em]lling truth and commitment
[F#m]He don't get much work these days
H[G]e's billed as a nov[A]elty act

And he st[D]ands there with his thumb out
Hi[Em]tchin' a ride towards the rainbow
That [F#m]only he sees shining there
They s[G]ay he's a fool and th[A]at's a fact.
[G] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [Em] - [A] - [Em] - [A]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Yes he's the l[D]ast of the protest singers
But som[Em]ehow I believe him
As he s[F#m]trums on cold street corners singing
I[G]t's what I say, not w[A]hat I am.

L[D]ate at night I hold him
He sh[Em]ivers and hides his crying
And says, "S[F#m]hould I just play some Rock 'n Roll
'cause no[G]body really gi[A]ves a damn?"
[G] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [Em] - [A]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I said &q[Em]uot;That's really [A]not good enough
Because there's en[Em]ough of that kind of st[A]uff!"
And I say &qu[Em]ot;That's really [A]not good enough
Because there's en[Em]ough of that kind of st[A]uff!"

And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t belie[C]ve nobo[F]dy care[C]s anymore."
And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t belie[C]ve nobo[F]dy shar[C]es anymore."
And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t believ[C]e nobody[F]'s there li[C]ke before."
[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?"

Yes he's the l[D]ast of the protest singers
St[Em]aring as he's strumming
For he [F#m]sees the dark clouds coming now
And he s[G]ays he feels those fi[A]rst few drops
He s[D]ees he can not reach them
But he t[Em]ries to sing out louder
And I [F#m]say, "You're getting hoarser boy."
He s[G]ays, "Should I [A]give up and stop?"
[G] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [Em] - [A]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And I say &q[Em]uot;That's really [A]not good enough
Because there's en[Em]ough of that kind of st[A]uff"
And I say &qu[Em]ot;That's really [A]not good enough
Because there's en[Em]ough of that kind of st[A]uff!"

And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t belie[C]ve nobo[F]dy care[C]s anymore."
And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t belie[C]ve nobo[F]dy shar[C]es anymore."
And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t believ[C]e nobody[F]'s there li[C]ke before."
[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?"

Yes, he's the l[D]ast of the protest singers

[G] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [Em] - [A]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
"There[Em]'s enough of that kind [A]of stuff!"
And I say &qu[Em]ot;That's really [A]not good enough
Because there's en[Em]ough of that kind of st[A]uff!"
And he says, &[Bb]quot;I can'[F]t belie[C]ve nobo[F]dy care[C]s anymore."
