[Ab]
All right.
I'm gonna tell the man at the IRS, [Db] this old boy, well I've had [Ab] enough.
Of the way the big man rakes it in, [Bb] the little man coughs [Eb] it up.
[Ab] Well, the fight keeps getting bigger, and the paychecks are getting [Db] small.
You [Ab] know the IRS, [F] they ain't gonna rest [Bb] till they think they've got [Ab] it all.
[Bb] [C]
[Db] They got the fluff on a lot of folks,
[Ab] but listen, I [G] ain't one.
[Ab] [A]
[Bb] From now on, I'm keeping my pay.
[Eb] Ain't gonna deduct none.
So [Ab] erase my name from your record, take me off your [Db] mailing list.
You [Ab] can write me off, [F] cause I ain't giving [Bb] a dime [Ab] to the IRS.
[Em] [A]
Well, it's hard to keep my hands on [Am] my woman, [G] with Uncle [C] Sam's hand in [A] my pants.
[B] And [Gb] if I can't afford the music, how in the hell am I [E] gonna dance?
[Am] Now, if everybody kicked in his fair share, I might back up and [E] say, yeah.
[B] But [A] the big man [Gb] plays while the little man pays, [A] so to hell with the IRS.
[Bb] [B] [C] [D] They got the fluff on a lot of folks, [A] [Ab] sucker, I ain't one.
[A] [Bb] [B] From now on, I'm keeping my [E] pay.
Ain't gonna deduct none.
[A] So put your 1044 where the sun don't shine, straighten out your whole [D] damn maze.
[A] You can write me off, [Gb] cause I ain't giving [B] a dime [E] to the IRS.
[Gb] [Ab] You [A] can write me off, [Gb] cause I ain't giving [B] a [A] dime to the IRS.
You wanna know why?
[Am] Cause they just blow it.
Hell, [C] you can take what they spent studying the sex habits of the South American swamp rat,
[A]
and keep us all in beer for the next hundred [G]
[D] years.
[C] [G] Blood sucker.
[Gb] [A] [G] You ever see Dracula in a great flannel suit, honey?
[C] [A] [G] Well, look up, you [A] will, [G] I'll bet.
[Gbm] [A]
