Intro
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch
I feel so good come payday
ch]E[/ch
I think of all the things I'm going to buy when I pick up my pay; don't you know?
ch]E[/ch
But then they hand me that little brown envelope
ch]E[/ch
I peep inside; Lord, I lose all hope
ch]E[/ch
'cause from those total wages earned down to that net amount that's due
ch]A[/ch
I feel a painful sense of loss between the two
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (federal tax), there goes that bracelet for her arm
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (county tax), there goes that new fence for my farm
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (state income tax), there goes that brand new Pontiac
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (withholded tax), there goes the shirt right off my back
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You can dream about a honeymoon for two
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You can dream but that's about all you can do
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
'cause by the time old Uncle Sam gets through with you
ch]E[/ch
You can buy her a pair of hose, a little powder for her nose
ch]A[/ch
And take her down to Sloppy Joe's for beer and stew
ch]E[/ch
Them are the facts
ch]A[/ch
After tax
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You can dream about vacations in the sun
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You can dream but you can never have you one
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
'cause by the time your good old Uncle Sam gets done
ch]E[/ch
You've got just enough for gas to see them city limits pass
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And if you get back home fourth class, I'd say you've won
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (federal tax), there goes that bracelet for her arm
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (county tax), there goes that new fence for my farm
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (luxury tax), send back that shortwave radio
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (insurance tax), cancel that trip to Mexico
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (state income tax), forget that brand new Pontiac
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Hmm (withholded tax), there goes the shirt right off my back
