'One In Ten'Rhythm Guitar/Lyrics from UB40`s 1981 L.P'Present Arms'.
(this song was written on Drums and Rhythm Guitar,Just two Chords G & F,
although the Bass line,Lead Guitar,Saxophone & the fact it sounds
better point to it being Gm & F,it just isn`t?!
I`ll place the Gm Chord diagram if you want to do what i do and use it,But G & F is official)

[Intro Play Twice]
[Chorus 1]
I am the one in ten,A number on a list,
I am the one in ten,Even though i don`t exist,
Nobody knows me,But i`m always there,
A statistic,A reminder of a world that does`nt care.
[Saxophone Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
My arms unfold the dole queue,Malnutrition dulls my hair,
My eyes are black and lifeless with an underprivileged stare,
I`m the beggar on the corner will no one spare a dime?,
I`m the child that never learns to read `cause no one spared the time.
[Chorus 2]
I am the one in ten,A number on a list,
I am the one in ten,Even though i don`t exist,
Nobody knows me,But i`m always there,
A statistic,A reminder of a world that does`nt care.
[Saxophone Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I`m the murderer,The victim,I`m the license to a gun,
I`m a sad and bruised old lady in an ally in a slum,
I`m a middle aged businessman with chronic heart disease,
I`m another teenage suicide in a street that has no trees.
[Chorus 3]
I am the one in ten,A number on a list,
I am the one in ten,Even though i don`t exist,
Nobody knows me,But i`m always there,
A statistic,A reminder of a world that does`nt care.
[Saxophone Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I`m a starving third world mother,Refugee with out a home,
I`m a housewife hooked on Valium,I`m a pensioner alone,
I`m a cancer ridden spectre discovering the earth,
I`m another hungry baby i`m an accident at birth.
[Chorus 4]
I am the one in ten,A number on a list,
I am the one in ten,Even though i don`t exist,
Nobody knows me,But i`m always there,
A statistic,A reminder of a world that does`nt care.
[Saxophone Instrumental]
[Chorus 5]
I am the one in ten,A number on a list,
I am the one in ten,Even though i don`t exist,
Nobody knows me,But i`m always there,
N.C
A statistic,A reminder of a world that does`nt care.
