No hopers, Jokers and Rogues by Fishermans Friends

real name. Fret 2nd string 1st fret, 3rd string 2nd fret, 4th string 3rd fret.
Capo on 4th fret.
CHORUS
C C
Come, all you no hopers,
G C
you jokers and rogues
C C
we're on the road to nowhere,
C G
let's find out where it goes
Am Am F C
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
C C
Come, all you no hopers,
G C
you jokers and rogues.
VERSE 1:
C C G C
Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie
C C
Your factories and offices;
C G
kiss them all goodbye
C C G C
Have a little faith in the dream maker in the sky
Am G F G
There's glory in believing him
C C G
and it's all in the beholder's eye.
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
C C G C
Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels
C C C G
Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal
C C G C
Everybody knows that this reality's not real
Am G F G C G
So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
G G C
Awash on the sea of our own vanity
G G C
We should rejoice in our individuality
F G F G G
Though it's gale force, let's steer a course for sanity
CHORUS TWICE, 2nd time slowing to finish on last line
*Credit going out to the infamous Louis Duarte for introducing me to this fine
