[Intro]
D D/G D/A (x8)
[Verse 1]
D You’re a white collar boy and you gave into the law G D/F# Em D (Give in to the pressure, the cops gonna getcha)
You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw
G D/F# Dm/F E7 (Your wage won’t stretch to picking up checks) A D A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided B7 Em Em7 Community service you had to go along with A A7 You’re banging the rocks at the old city docks D C G A Poor boy poor boy poor boy poor boy D C G A Boy poor boy poor boy poor boy
[Verse 2]
D You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look G D/F# Em D It’s a nice way to die she’s so easy on the eye
She said let’s get away, but you played it by the book
G D/F# Dm/F E7 You’re a warden’s pet, she’s a screaming suffragette A D “We ain’t in prison, we’ll just finish up and go home” B7 Em Em7 She said, “Not for me, I’ve got plans for later on” A A7 So she belted the sarge, she jumped on a barge D C G A And you fell, you fell, you fell, you fell D C G A Fell, you fell, you fell, you fell
[Bridge]
G F White collar, got dirt in your pants C You got egg in your hair Eb You got spit in your chin
[Chorus]
G F C White collar, scared to be bored G F C Blue collar, she’s opening doors G F C D White collar boy, on the run from the law
[Instrumental]

N.C.
She said “You ain’t ugly, you can kiss me if you like”
G D/F# Em D (Go ahead and kiss her, you don’t know what you’re missing)
“Now baby, you’re special, but there’s something not quite right”
G D/F# Dm/F E7 (She’s a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs?) A D “Oh, I am innocent, you were the rocket B7 Em Em7 Things were okay till you took out the copper A A7 Now Leave me alone, get used to the chains D C G A You’re a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain D C G A Pain, you're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain
[Bridge]
G F White collar, got dirt in your pants C You got egg in your hair Eb You got spit in your chin G F White collar, got dirt in your pants C You got egg in your hair Eb You got spit in your chin
[Chorus]
G F C White collar, scared to be bored G F C Blue Collar, she’s opening doors G F C D White collar boy, on the run from the law
The law, the law, the law
Get on your bike
Get on your horse
