Track 17 of 30 on the album "Ain't the Reaping Ever Done? (1962-1976)" (2015)

[Intro]
D    G


[Verse 1]
                               D
I laid a million dollars on a deal the other day
                                    G
But when my lawyer told me how much tax I'd have to pay
                                       D
I gave the guys their million back and as we left the bar
  A7                                                 D
I made the whole transaction for a good five-cent cigar


[Chorus]
           G
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
           A7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
     D
They just won't leave our pay alone
                            G
And what's left ain't worth taking home


[Verse 2]
                                       D
A friend of mine just went to work for 90 bucks a week
                                             G
He thought the job would help his little ol' starving kids to eat
                                      D
When he received his pay, he lost his marbles, you can bet
    A7                                       D
His check was 90 dollars gross to 20 dollars debt


[Chorus]
           G
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
           A7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
     D
They just won't leave our pay alone
                            G
And what's left ain't worth taking home


[Interlude]
D    G
E


[Verse 3]
   A                                 E
My congressman has held the floor forever and a day
                                   A
He's introduced a bill to give the Brooklyn Bridge away
                                       E
When someone said, "How are you gonna pay for such as this?"
   B7                                                    E
He shouted, "I've a plan, my friends, that simply cannot miss"


[Chorus]
           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
     E
They just won't leave our pay alone
                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home


[Verse 4]
                          E
I won a jackpot in a quiz on a TV show
                                   A
A gang of people asked me what I'd do with all that dough
                                   E
My money's gone and if I thought I had a case, I'd sue
B7                                          E
All the guys can make it with Internal Revenue


[Chorus]
           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
     E
They just won't leave our pay alone
                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home
           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
     E
They just won't leave our pay alone
                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home
           A
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
           B7
Raise the taxes (raise the taxes)
     E
They just won't leave our pay alone
                            A
And what's left ain't worth taking home
