Key: G
Introduction:
G F#/G Em D
Dead in the water
C B/C Am
It's not a paid vacation
G F#/G Em D C
The sons and daughters of city officials
B/C Am
Attend demonstrations
G F#/G Em D
It's hardly a sink or swim
C B/C Am
When all is well if the ticket sells
G F#/G Em D C B/C Am
(verse 2)
G F#/G Em D
Out with a wimper
C B/C Am
It's not a blaze of glory
G F#/G Em
You look down from your temple
D C B/C Am
As people endeavor to make it a story
G F#/G Em D
And chisel a marble word
C B/C Am
But all is lost if it's never heard
G C7 G G7
(chorus)
C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't see what's really there
D
And all I need's a great big congratulations
G F#/G Em D C B/C Am
(just repeat for the rest of the song)
(verse 3)
