*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS***** INTRO: G C G C D G
                     Em
Somewhere a red-eyed waitress

            C                Em    Am
Glances at another movie magazine
Down on the corner there's a grocery boy
         C                    D       C
Stuffing boxes full of hungry dreams

                          Am
Someone's cleaning up the offices

    Em             D      Em    C
One window burning in the dark

                            Am         D
Somebody's crying, is there any way in hell

                                      G
To light a comet from a single spark?
Working so hard I can't remember much
          C                      Em    Am
About the freedom I been working for
Felt like a prisoner 'til I looked in your eyes
          C                 D       C
And saw a million wide open doors

                          Am
Ya tell me, "Put a little money away

            Em                D      Em    
Well, every dog will have his day in time"

             C                            Am
Well, I been slaving like a dog and I got nothing to show ya

      D 
But a collar and a fist full of nickels and dimes
CHORUS:
         C                     Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action

Em
Give me a shot at the real thing

         C                      Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action

      D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings

      C                         D                   G
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Been living just like my old man did
            C                      Em    Am
And neither one of us could get it right
Punching in when the day begins
             C                     D       C
And punching out the local boys at night

                             Am
There's someone leaning on a peeling porch

            Em           D      Em   
And someone leaving on a silver plane

      C                        Am
And I finally know the man I'd rather be

        D 
Girl, I won't be back to getcha 'til they know my name
CHORUS:
         C                     Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action

Em
Give me a shot at the real thing

         C                      Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action

      D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings

      C                         D 
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
BRIDGE:
           Am                  C
Well, they hand you a paycheck every week

            Em    
And steal a piece of your soul every day

            C                     Am
And I don't need no gold watch in fifty years

D
Baby, let's be golden today
CHORUS:
         C                     Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action

Em
Give me a shot at the real thing

         C                      Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action

      D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings

         C                      Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action

Em
Give me a shot at the real thing

         C                              Am
I want a piece of the action, I've been breaking my back

      D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Lead Break: C Am Bm Em C Am D CHORUS:
         C                     Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action

Em
Give me a shot at the real thing

         C                      Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action

      D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings

      C                         D                  G
