"Advertising Man"

by David Wilcox

transcription by Bill Boroson (5/7/95)

INTRO: C E7 Fmaj7 G7sus4 G7 C Csus4

C E7

If you want some real contentment, to live life at its best,

F+2 Fm

You can buy these dry tobacco leaves, to breathe into your chest.

C A7 D7 D6

And then look up at the billboard, while all the promises come

G Gsus4/A G5(add C#)/B G/B

true, for you.

C E7

You'll feel alive with pleasure, playful as a child.

F+2 Fm

You've come to where the freedom is. You're cool and mild.

C A7 D7 D6

You'll laugh with every lungful as the change comes

G7sus4 G7 C Csus4 G7sus4

over you.

G7sus4 G7 C G7sus4 G7 C

So look up at the billboard. See her smiling, sexy and tan.

Csus4 G7sus4 G7 C Am7 D7/F# G Gsus4/A

G/B

But the only one who's laughing is the advertising man.

C E7

Those portraits of pleasure, of those who like to smoke,

F Fm

They're laughing in the photograph, but we don't get the joke.

C A7 D7 D6

Now why would they be smiling while they're looking

G Gsus4/A G5(add C#)/B G/B

down our way?

C E7

I guess they're making easy money climbing up the rungs,

F Fm

>From selling us a parasite that's feeding on our lungs.

C A7 D7 D6

They must be laughing in astonishment that we believe the things

G7sus4 G7 C Csus4 G7sus4

they say.

G7sus4 G7 C G7sus4 G7 C

So look up at the billboard. See her smiling, sexy and tan.

Csus4 G7sus4 G7 C Am7 D7/F# G Gsus4/A

G/B

But the only one who's laughing is the advertising man.

C E7

Now crack'll kill you quickly. That's why it's got to go.

F+2 Fm

They'll get more of your money if they kill you nice and slow.

[E] [D] [C] [B] [A] [G] G* [G]

And the on - ly one who's laugh - ing is the

G7sus4 G7sus4 G7sus4 [B] [C] [G] G7sus4 C+2 C

ad - ver - ti - sing man.
