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
