[Verse 1]
[G]Arthur was born
just a plain simple man
In [D]a plain simple working
class po[G]sition
Though the world was hard
and its ways were set
He was [D]young and he
had so much am[G]bition
All the way he was overtaken
By the [D]people who make
the big de[G]cisions
But he tried and he tried for a better life
And [D]a way to improve his own con[G]dition
If [C]only life were easy it would
be such [G]fun[F][C]
[G]Thi[C]ngs would be more equal and be
plenty for every[Bb]one[F][C][G]
[C]Arthur the world's gone
and passed you by
Don't you [G]know it, don't you [C]know it
You can cry, cry all night but it
won't make it right
Don't ya [G]know it, don't ya [C]know it

[Verse 2]
Arthur we know and [C]we sympathize
Don't ya [G]know it, don't ya [C]know it
Arthur we like you and want
to help you
[G]Somebody loves you don't
you [C]know it

How is your life and your [G]Shangri-la
And And your [D]long lost land of Halle[G]lujah
And your hope and glory
has passed you by
Can't [D]you see what the
world is doing [G]to ya
And [C]now we see your children
Sailing off in the setting [G]sun[F][C][G]
[C]To a new horizon
Where there's plenty for
every[Bb]one[F][C][G]
[C]Arthur, could be
That the world was wrong
Don't ya [G]know it, don't ya [C]know it
Arthur, could be
You were right all along
Don't ya [G]know it, I [C]hope ya know it
Now we know and we [G]sympathize[C]
We'd like to help you and
understand [G]you[C]
Don't ya [G]know it,
