Eddie Noack – Raise The Taxes (Guitar)

                               D
I laid a million dollars on a deal the other day

                                    G
But when my lawyer told me how much tax I'd have to pay

                                       D
I gave the guys their million back and as we left the bar

  A7                                                 D
I made the whole transaction for a good five-cent cigar

           G
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

           A7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

     D
They just won't leave our pay alone

                            G
And what's left ain't worth taking home

                                       D
A friend of mine just went to work for 90 bucks a week

                                             G
He thought the job would help his little ol' starving kids to eat

                                      D
When he received his pay, he lost his marbles, you can bet

    A7                                       D
His check was 90 dollars gross to 20 dollars debt

           G
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

           A7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

     D
They just won't leave our pay alone

                            G
And what's left ain't worth taking home

   A                                 E
My congressman has held the floor forever and a day

                                   A
He's introduced a bill to give the Brooklyn Bridge away

                                       E
When someone said, "How are you gonna pay for such as this?"

   B7                                                    E
He shouted, "I've a plan, my friends, that simply cannot miss"

           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

     E
They just won't leave our pay alone

                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home

                          E
I won a jackpot in a quiz on a TV show

                                   A
A gang of people asked me what I'd do with all that dough

                                   E
My money's gone and if I thought I had a case, I'd sue

B7                                          E
All the guys can make it with Internal Revenue

           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

     E
They just won't leave our pay alone

                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home

           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

     E
They just won't leave our pay alone

                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home

           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)

     E
They just won't leave our pay alone

                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home
