The world economy is not so good this year. The poor countries suffer the worst. The shopkeepers are on their knees as many people are poor! This miserable year 2022!! Shopkeeper's Nightmare As I was walking along the narrow streets of my home town Am G Am I could see the shopkeepers preparing their stores Am C G C Am but the common people are poor D G G they can hardly buy fancy things C G G to their children when the Christmas is running up Dm C G G so are the times - and there is nothing that we can do C C G C but to hope that the times will change to the better some day Am G D G G D G D G There is a lot of stores in my town that have closed down Am G Am Am it is a sign of severe depression in our world C G C Am it may cause a crise for some D G G and there’s a risk for suicide C G G when their lives have been shattered for many years Dm C G G so are the times - and there is nothing that we can do C C G C but to hope that the times will change to the better some day Am G D G G D G D G And there are people in the poor countries in the world Am G Am who can see the children that are starving to death Am C G C Am as the supply of grain has decreased D G G since many ships couldn’t leave their ports C G G and the bloody war is the reason for these events Dm C G G so are the times - and there is only one who can stop C C G C the bloody, bloody war and draw back all his guns Am G D G G D G D G Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Richard John A caring and socially aware song ……… great performance Bengt. 2022-12-22T08:50:01Z Comment by TW9 great folk song. beautiful whisper voice! 2022-12-11T12:23:58Z Comment by Michael Christopher Lynn Beautiful folk hymn. Cool lyrics & harmonies. Yes, they predict that the economy will be somewhat better next year but the poors and those affected by the war will still be suffering unfortunately. 2022-12-04T12:35:41Z Comment by MASTERING TRUE MUSIC PRODUCTIONS Nice vocal harmonies, sensational song! 2022-11-28T11:31:24Z Comment by Karlit-O-Kay (K-O-K) Very warm and peaceful! 2022-11-25T04:08:17Z Comment by David Dunham Lovely guitar play in a sad song.
