Capo on III to match recording.

[Verse 1]
           Em               C
I've been selling my soul, working all day.
 G                   D
Overtime hours, for bullshit pay.
          Em                      C
So I can sit out here, and waste my life away.
 G                            D
Drag back home, and drown my troubles away.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
         Em                      C
It's a damn shame, what the world's gotten to.
      G                   D
For people like me, and people like you.
              Em                    C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true.
        G         D
But it is, aw it is.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
               Em        C        G         D
Livin' in the new world, with an old soul.
            Em                         C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
          G                  D
just wanna have total control
                      Em                        C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
                          G                         D
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do.
                          Em                         C
'Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
                 G                 D
'Cause of rich men, north of Richmond.
 
 
[Interlude]
 Em C G D
 
 
[Verse 2]
               Em                       C
I wish politicians would look out for miners.
               G                          D
And not just minors on an island somewhere.
              Em                             C
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat.
         G                   D
And the obese, milkin' welfare.
                     Em                         C
But God, if you're five foot three and you're three hundred pounds.
       G                           D
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
               Em                      C
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground.
                 G                             D
'Cause all this damn country does, is keep on kickin' them down.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
               Em                      C
Lord, it's a damn shame, what the world's gotten to.
      G                   D
For people like me, and people like you.
              Em                    C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true.
        G         D
But it is, aw it is.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
               Em        C        G         D
Livin' in the new world, with an old soul.
            Em                         C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
          G                  D
just wanna have total control
                      Em                        C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
                          G                         D
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do.
                          Em                         C
'Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
                 G                 D
'Cause of rich men, north of Richmond.
 
 
[Outro]
 Em C G D
 Em C G D
 
           Em               C
I've been selling my soul, working all day.

Overtime hours, for bullshit pay.
