WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES (DAVID CROSBY) Em I wonder who they are I wonder who they are The men who really run this land And I wonder why they run it With such a thoughtless hand. Tell me what are their names, And on what street do they live? I'd like to ride right over This afternoon and give Them a piece of my mind About peace for mankind Peace is not An awful lot

MORNING DEW VERSE D C (Em) D CHORUS G C D Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I can't walk you out in the morning dew today. I thought I heard a baby cry this morning, I thought I heard a baby cry this today. You didn't hear no baby cry this morning, You didn't hear no baby cry today. Where have all the people gone my honey, Where have all the people gone today. There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people, You never see those people anyway. I thought I heard a young man moan this morning, I thought I heard a young man moan today. I thought I heard a young man moan this morning, I can't walk you out in the morning dew today. Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I guess it doesn't really matter anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anyway, Guess it doesn't matter anyway.
