INTRO: G

G

Now I'd just like to say a few words right here about taxes

C D G

I'll pay another man to do my taxes

C G

On account of it's just one more deduction I can take

Em

But the postman brought my W-2 this mornin'

A7 D

And this year they're claimin' a third of all I make

G C G

Now I'm just as patriotic as the next man

C Bm

And you know I love that red white and blue

C G C

So I'll help to pay this risin' cost of freedom

G D G

But I'll be danged if I'm gonna change my point of view

CHORUS:

C G

'Cause every time the beaurocrats run out of money

C G

Well Congress socks it to the workin' man

C G

And I don't think it's one bit funny when they take so much of my money

A7 D

And do things with it I don't understand

G C G

I don't know why they feel they've gotta squeeze us

C Bm

But I'll tell you just exactly where I stand

C G G-G/F#-Em

I believe if ten percent is good enough for Jesus

G D G

Well it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam

HARMONICA BREAK

G C G

Now some of them folks that we've been sendin' off to Congress

C D G

Think that all they've got to do is spend and spend

C G Em

But you know you can't run a family much less a country

A7 D

With more money goin' out than comin' in

G C G

And that old debt just keeps on gettin' bigger

C Bm

And we're all gonna have to pay so don't you laugh

C G C

'Cause one day soon you just might look down at your paycheck

G D G

And figure out they done started takin' half

CHORUS

C G G-G/F#-Em

I said if ten percent is good enough for Jesus

G D C Em

Well it oughta be enough, you know times are tough

G D G D G

It oughta be enough for Uncle Sam
