Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Verse:
          Em               C
Iʼve been selling my soul, working all day.
G                   D
Overtime hours, for bullshit pay.
         Em                      C
So I can sit out here, and waste my life away.
G                            D
Drag back home, and drown my troubles away.

Pre-chorus:
        Em                      C
Itʼs a damn shame, what the worldʼs gotten to.
     G                   D
For people like me, and people like you.
             Em                    C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true.
       G         D
But it is, aw it is.

Chorus:
              Em        C        G         D
Livinʼ in the new world, with an old soul.
           Em                         C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
         G                  D
just wanna have total control
                     Em                        C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
                         G                         D
And they donʼt think you know, but I know that you do.
                         Em                         C
ʼCause your dollar ainʼt shit, and itʼs taxed to no end
                G                 D
ʼCause of rich men, north of Richmond.

Em C G D

Verse:
              Em                       C
I wish politicians would look out for miners.
              G                          D
And not just minors on an island somewhere.
             Em                             C
Lord, we got folks in the street, ainʼt got nothinʼ to eat.
        G                   D
And the obese, milkinʼ welfare.
                    Em                         C
But God, if youʼre five foot three and youʼre three hundred pounds.
      G                           D
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
              Em                      C
Young men are puttinʼ themselves six feet in the ground.
                G                             D
ʼCause all this damn country does, is keep on kickinʼ them down.

Pre-chorus:
              Em                      C
Lord, itʼs a damn shame, what the worldʼs gotten to.
     G                   D
For people like me, and people like you.
             Em                    C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true.
       G         D
But it is, aw it is.

Chorus:
              Em        C        G         D
Livinʼ in the new world, with an old soul.
           Em                         C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
         G                  D
just wanna have total control
                     Em                        C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
                         G                         D
And they donʼt think you know, but I know that you do.
                         Em                         C
ʼCause your dollar ainʼt shit, and itʼs taxed to no end
                G                 D
ʼCause of rich men, north of Richmond.
