Rich Men North Of Richmond Chords

[Verse 1]
           Em                  C
I've been selling my soul, working all day.
G                  D
Double time hours, for bullshit pay.
Em                     C
So I can sit out here, and waste my life away.
G                             D
Drag back home, and drink my troubles away.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
        Em                      C
It's a damn shame, what the worlds 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 dont think you know, but i know that you do.
                       Em                         C
Cause your dollar ain't dick, and it's taxed to no end
               G                    D
Cause of ri-ch men, north of Richmond.
 
 
[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, with nothin to eat.
          G                       D
And the obese, milkin' welfare.
                 Em                       C
But god if your five foot three, and 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                 
Cause all this damn country does, 
             D
is keep on kickin' them down.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Em                      C
Lord it's a damn shame, what the worlds 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

                     Em                       C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
                        G                         D
And they dont think you know, but i know that you do.
                       Em                         C
Cause your dollar ain't dick, and it's taxed to no end
