[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
