[Verse 1]
C G C G Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight G C D And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight D What the dollar used to get us G Now won't buy a head of lettuce A7 D7 No, the economic forecast isn't bright G C G But amid the clouds I spot a shining ray C B7 I can even glimpse a new and better way C I've devised a plan of action G E7 Worked it down to the last fraction A7 D7 G And I'm going into action here today
[Chorus]
D G C G I am changing my name to Chrysler C G I am going down to Washington, D.C. D I will tell some power broker G What they did for Iacocca A D Will be perfectly acceptable to me G C G I am changing my name to Chrysler C B7 I am headed for that great receiving line C And when they hand a million grand out G E7 I'll be standing with my hand out A7 D7 G Yes sir, I'll get mine
[Verse 2]
C G C G When my creditors are screaming for their dough G C G I'll be glad to tell them all where they can all go D They won't have to scream and holler G They'll be paid to the last dollar A7 D7 Where the endless streams of money seem to flow G C G I'll be glad to tell them what they can do C B7 It's a matter of a simple form or two C G E7 It's not just remuneration, it's a liberal education! A7 D7 G Ain't you kind of glad that I'm in debt to you?
[Chorus]
D G C G I am changing my name to Chrysler C G I am going down to Washington, D.C. D I will tell some power broker G What they did for Iacocca A D Will be perfectly acceptable to me G C G I am changing my name to Chrysler C B7 I am headed for that great receiving line C And when they hand a million grand out G E7 I'll be standing with my hand out A7 D7 G Yes sir, I'll get mine
[Verse 3]
C G C G Since the first amphibian crawled out of the slime G C G We've been struggling in an unrelenting climb D We were hardly up and walking G before money started talking A7 D7 And it's said that failure is an awful crime G C G Well, it's been that way a millenium or two C B7 But now it seems that there's a different point of view: C G E7 If you're a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic A7 D7 G Down in Congress there's a safety net for you
[Chorus]
D G C G I am changing my name to Chrysler C G I am going down to Washington, D.C. D I will tell some power broker G What they did for Iacocca A D Will be perfectly acceptable to me G C G I am changing my name to Chrysler C B7 I am headed for that great receiving line C And when they hand a million grand out G E7 I'll be standing with my hand out A7 D7 G Yes sir, I'll get mine
[Outro]
C And when they hand a million grand out G E7 I'll be standing with my hand out A7 D7 G Yes sir, I'll get mine
